Parish Magazine Distributors
If you would like to help with the distribution of the Parish Magazine, either on an occasional or regular basis, then please contact Paul and Mary Jackson.

St Peter's Church Cleaning
To those of you working as church cleaners please accept the churchwardens apologies for the extra dust and mess at this time.
The work on the west wall is creating considerable mess and while the builders have done their best to seal the gaps it is not possible to stop all the dust. Could the church be cleaned as late as possible on Friday afternoon, or preferably Saturday morning, as this will give chance for the dust to settle. Thank you very much for your co-operation, and apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Due to illness and other circumstances we now find ourselves short of cleaners for St Peter's Church. If you could find a spare hour a month to assist with this on a rota basis contact Sylvia

Lights of Love
This will take place on Friday 2nd December at 7.00pm in St Peter's Church Garden.

Nettlestone School
Will be holding their key stage 2 carol service in St Peter's Church on Friday 16th December at 9.30am. It would be good if as many church folk as possible could support them on this occasion.

Windows
The observant ones among you will have seen the decorations on the wood covering for the windows at St Peter's. These were done by classes 2,4 and 6 of Nettlestone school for which we are very grateful.

Bereavement Group
I am sure you do not need any reminders of how difficult this time of year can be for those who have been bereaved or face any kind of loss. Join us in St Peter's Church Hall on Friday 9th December at 2.00pm.

RNLI
