CHURCH HALL GARDENS
Points West are coming to look at our rain garden and planters this week, and interview Nick.
The garden needs tidying. If you are available we will be working there from 10am on Monday morning. Refreshments provided.
COSTUMES
After clearing out the library room at the church hall, we have a large number of shalwar kameez type outfits left over from the passion play. They are nearly all adult sizes, and are made from good quality grey-green cotton lawn. Does anyone have any idea of any organisation that might have a use for any of them? If you know of a drama group, charity or anyone else that might be able to make use of some of them, please speak to Joan Orman.
Church Cleaning
This is the time of year when I produce the rota for Church Cleaning for the year from September 2025. At the moment we have six groups so the commitment is an hour or so every six weeks. Many thanks to the members of these groups for keeping the church looking clean and welcoming.
Two of the groups have only two people and it would be wonderful if there is anyone reading this who feels able to volunteer to join one of these groups. Please contact Janet Henderson 525856 or singingjan@icloud.com if you are interested.
