Tin Can Collection for Ukraine

Our collecting for this has now come to an end.  Many, many thanks to those of you who cleaned, de-labelled and brought in the impressive number of cans that we collected and donated to this cause.  The Congregation of St Nicholas Parish Church were delighted with our contribution. 

Broth & Blether
Our Curate Jackie has left a new Broth & Blether soup rota on the table at the back of the church.  If you’d like to contribute to this very successful outreach project at The Blue Triangle please add your name to the sign up sheet.  Thank you in advance.
