On Sunday 19 December, you're welcome to our Scratch Nativity - it's for everyone, young and old.If you want to bring a costume (angel? shepherd? wise man? a sheep?) then you are very welcome, but Veronica will be there with the dressing-up box and we'll kit you out. But if you prefer just to watch, that's fine too, no obligation. Please …

Very warm thanks to everyone who has volunteered to help with serving drinks, tea and coffee, and with our bit of plastering and indeed for everyone who helps out in whatever way that is.
|
|
Look out for more volunteering opportunities in the New Year.

We are entirely self-funded and the months of the pandemic have affected everything and everybody, not least our financial situation, which is currently cause for concern.
|
|
We're grateful to everyone who continues to support the church and its work, which goes beyond weekly services. Thank you!

If you're not already a regular giver, please consider whether you can give a little each month. Small amounts are just as welcome as large ones, really!
