SOCIAL AND FUND RAISING COMMITTEE

What a super evening we had for our Harvest Hog Roast and very worthwhile too.  After paying for our hog, and again Jayne made a lovely job of our supper, we have been able to send £300 to the charity Smile for children who are born with cleft lips and palates (Each operation costs £150) and £250 to Samaritan’s Purse for Water Aid.  It was the turn this year for charities abroad, and I think everybody will agree that this was a splendid result, thanks in no small way to the total of the Auction of Produce.
With Christmas in mind, don’t forget that we still have some of our cookery books, cost £4.50;  ideal for putting in an envelope for a small gift.

CHRISTINGLE SERVICE

My diary tells me that it will soon be December and that means it is time for another Christingle Service.  This year the date of the service is Sunday 7th December 2008 at 9.30 am at St James’ Church, Gawsworth.
When the children come into Church, they will be handed an envelope for their collection.  The money that is collected will go towards helping those children who are less fortunate.  We must try and be mindful of children who need our help and this is particularly important at Christmas time.  Please give generously and I am sure you will, as always, enjoy this very lovely service.  I look forward to seeing lots of children and their parents and families on 7th December.
