Exciting Proposals to Extend the Building

Sunday 9th December to consider proposals for a new entrance to the Community Room (Pre-school) to enable the toilets and other facilities to be used during the day. 

Building Fund News 

On Friday December 14th there will be a concert by ‘One Accord’.  The choir came earlier this year and we were rather disappointed by audience numbers as they were one of the best mixed-voiced we have had.  Please don’t miss out this time. 

The Christmas card board is ready.

If you wish to send a Christmas card to your friends in the church please give it to Tina to display.

A donation to the Building Fund would be very much appreciated. 

Women’s Network 

The December meeting will be on Tuesday 11th at 2.30 pm and members are invited to take part - choose a favourite hymn/carol, do a reading, or a poem, preferably on a Christmas theme.

There will be light refreshments.  No Bring and Buy on this occasion.

Christmas Collection 

This year our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day collections are in aid of KIP.  This is a local charity run by the Salvation Army based at Tan Bank and its aim is to give sympathetic and practical help and advice to the growing number of homeless within the Telford and Wrekin area.

Please be as generous as you feel able and for those who wish to Gift Aid their donations envelopes are available either from me or the Stewards.
