Please deposit your responses in the wooden box beside the sheets. Thank you.

Broth & Blether
Our new initiative at The Blue Triangle homeless unit in The Wide Close is in need of soup suppliers! Have a look at the sheet at the back of the church and make a soup donation to this very worthy cause. If any of you have unused/unwanted crockery, cutlery, sauce pans, towels, sheets and pillowcases (for a single bed) lying around the house, please consider donating them to our Blue Triangle venture, so that we can create starter packs for the young residents moving into first tenancies. We do not want you to go to any expense for this; just pass on stuff that you do not use and won’t miss from the house. Please leave whatever you bring in the break out room in the church hall.
Away Giving Campaign Suggestions for 2026
In the New Year we will be supporting the following Away Giving Campaigns: Bishop’s Lent Appeal, Water Aid, Social Bite and The Salvation Army Christmas Appeal.
Prayer Tree
We now have a prayer tree in the church hall. If you would like someone or something to be prayed for, please write your petition on the hearts provided and place it on the tree. Your prayer will be prayed for in church.
Prayer
When she is with us on Sundays The Revd Liz Clelland will offer pastoral prayer in the Memorial Chapel after the Sung Eucharist to individuals who would like it.
