The games will entertain you and relieve you of money as we try to show the grant funders that the congregation is willing to support the re-roofing project.
Lenten Lunches Update
Due to a lack of uptake, the decision was taken NOT to do weekly Lenten Lunches this year. Instead we will be having one super Soup Sunday on Sunday 22 March at 12 noon in St Nicholas Church Hall. Cost: £3. All proceeds will go to Christian Aid. We need 2 volunteers to help set up on the Saturday, 2 volunteers to serve on the day and I volunteer to make a very large pot of soup. Please speak to The Revd Jackie if you can help.
