TEA/COFFEE ROTA VOLUNTEERS STILL REQUIRED: The rota is now available for 2016 in the Centenary Chapel. If your organisation is able to help, even if only for a couple of Sundays, please add your details opposite the date/s of your choice.
ECO CONGREGATION: We are pleased to report a number of organisations are now using the china cups for tea/coffee after the services.
As an Eco-Congregation since 2010 it was proposed that paper cups be phased out. The washing of cups should not be too onerous, as it takes only 20 minutes, but if some groups find it too difficult a member of the Eco Group is willing to help.
Thank you for your continued co-operation. The Eco Group

If you would like to knit a shawl but can’t manage the meetings, the group would be delighted to receive any shawl knitted lovingly and focused on the care and wellbeing of an anonymous recipient. The knitting pattern being used for the shawls is 81 stiches, knit 3, purl 3 – beginning each row with knit 3 and using 300 grams of double knitting and using 6mm, 7mm or 8mm needles. Anyone needing wool or needles can find them on the table outside the church office – please help yourself. Finished shawls can be fringed by those who make them in way they wish. Thank you to everyone who is knitting, or has donated needles and work for this Ministry your kindness has already brought comfort.
