Parish Magazine Distributors
Urgently required four people to help with the distribution of the Parish Magazine in Seaview.

if you are able to help.
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 a 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 please contact Sylvia.
Windows at St Peter's
The observant ones among you will have seen the decorations on the wood covering for the windows.
These were done by classes 2,4 and 6 of Nettlestone school for which we are very grateful.
Carol Service
In St Peter's Church on Friday 23rd December at 7.00pm Community Carols round the Christmas Tree.
A very happy and peaceful Christmas to you all
