Coffee Morning St. Helen's
Thank you to everyone who supported the recent coffee morning. A total of £372.90 was raised for Church Funds

St. Peter's & St. Helen's Church Cleaners
We would be grateful if  more people could kindly help with the cleaning at St Peter's Church.  If anyone can spare an hour or so each month  for dusting and sweeping, please contact Joan Ricketts. St. Helen's Church also needs cleaners. Please contact Barbara.

Winter & Children's Church at St. Helen's
Though our tent has been a wonderful asset for our children in the summer - we need a warm and less blustery place for them in winter. So, we shall be adapting the gallery at St. Helen's to form an 'upper room' for Children's Church to use. We would be very grateful for donations of bean bags / scatter cushions or carpeting to help furnish this area. Many thanks, Rob.

St Peter's Church Gardening
Thanks again to Mike and his team for tidying up the church gardens and removing all the leaves. As a reward there will be no gardening in January and we will meet on Thursday 5th Feb.

Christmas Cards
Thank you to all who delivered Christmas cards for the Churches this year. We have been able to cover every home in the parish which is fantastic. Many thanks to everyone. Sylvia

Crib & Christingle Service
All are welcome, with or without children, to share in this lovely service. See the Seaview sheep, exchanged by children in the congregation, for a Christingle to accompany prayers said for the children throughout the world this Christmas. Candle-lit carols are a wonderful way to conclude Advent. A collection will be made in aid of the Children's Society.
