So, a reminder there are just three simple things we’d like to encourage you to do: Many thanks to everyone who has helped create a Covid Christmas Tree Festival in the churchyard. It’s a welcome splash of brightness at a dark time, and has been well appreciated. Christmas cards – if you wish to leave cards for people in church, please lay them flat on the surface under the hymn books, rather than in the pigeon holes; however, it would be preferable if cards were not left in church at all in the present circumstances, and if there are too many we shall have to say no, and dispose of those left –sorry!!! Items for the Notices – please send any extra items to the office by 9am on Thursdays. |
