St. Peter's Church Coffee Mornings
The coffee mornings are always a popular event and a good opportunity to meet up with friends and neighbours. Each year the total raised is about £1400.00. Donations to the stalls over recent months has declined. In order that we do not have to fund the stalls from proceeds we would like you to help out. Dee would appreciate cash donations to buy ingredients for her band of cake makers. Molly would like prizes for the tombola stall [previously the bottle stall] & Diana would love to receive raffle prizes. Thank you in anticipation. The next coffee morning is Saturday 31st January.

Street Pastors
