CROHN’S & COLITIS UK RAFFLE FOR RESEARCH 2018 – The Simpson Family would like to offer a huge and very heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us in buying raffle tickets this year. We could not be prouder of our beautiful Millie who, through a huge and determined effort, has managed to raise £1576 which will be donated towards vital research into Crohn’s Disease and Colitis. Words are not enough to thank our wonderful Greenbank congregation and friends. Without your support we wouldn’t have sold any tickets and without your love and empathy we would be finding this battle even more challenging than it already is. Our heartfelt thanks and love to each and every one of you. You are all making a huge difference xxx ❤

During the service names of loved ones will be placed on a special Christmas Remembrance Tree which will remain in the church sanctuary that we all may know that this time of year belongs not only to us and our church, but also our loved ones as we journey together towards the One born for us at Christmas. Anyone who wishes to come to the service will be made very welcome. If you can’t manage along to the service but wish someone’s name to be placed on the tree, please record it in the Christmas Book of Remembrance which is in the Centenary Chapel.
