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.
