Voice your ideas:

Hopefully, most of you will know that we are going to have the magazine professionally produced from next month with more content from more people.

So, it seems like a great opportunity to think of a new name for the magazine than Voice. That's where you can help - we'd like your ideas of what you think the new magazine should be called.  It doesn't have to be just one word or church related. What do you think would attract people to pick up a copy in the library for example. If you have an idea please let Paul or one of the clergy know by 15th January.

Paul Dent is hoping for interesting items for the new magazine. Brief accounts of events over the festive period, or other things that will interest our readers please. Please give or e mail to Paul by January 15^th for the Feb/Mar issue.

Make sure you have got your copy of this month’s magazine – the last in the present format.

We are collecting items of warm clothing such as hats, scarves, gloves and socks to take down to the Booth Centre for the homeless in Manchester over the Christmas period. If you have any of these to spare or get some as Christmas presents you can't use these would be most welcome. as an unwanted chocolate bar that would be greatly appreciated.

If any of our children or young people play a musical instrument, would they like to join a small group to play occasionally in church services? Please let Paul or Edith know if you might be interested.
