Church Lunch Dates
It's great to be able to enjoy fellowship together (and food!) and we have one more church lunch this year
September 29th
Please put this date in your diary and we look forward to seeing you there. Everyone is welcome!
Bins
As you may be aware, in the church porch , lounge and hall we have three separate bins (one for general waste and the other two for specific recycling items) When you dispose of rubbish, if you could place it in the appropriate bin we would really appreciate it. We now have the same category of outside bins so it will be easier to transfer rubbish from the inside to outside bins if the correct items are put in the appropriate bin. Many thanks for your co-operation with this
