A Good Read
It’s that time of year again. As ever, the bookstall at the Christmas Bazaar (4th December) is looking for some stock! Donations may be left at the back of the church – a reminder that the church is open from 9 am to 4 pm ever day – or delivered to 26 Post Street. Collections from your house are also possible if you give us enough time. Donations in the past have always been most generous, so please support the bookstall again!

Jumpers 4 Jimmy’s
This week The Charities Committee are launching the Jumpers 4 Jimmy’s Christmas appeal in support of Jimmy’s homeless shelter in Cambridge.
Please donate new or nearly new ladies and men’s jumpers to the box at the back of the church or bring them along to our stall at the Christmas Bazaar on Saturday 4th December.
We will also be accepting sleeping bags, toiletries and long life luxury Christmas food items. Thank you. Jane Nicholls
Africa Charities
Thank you to all who made a contribution to our appeal for Mashambanzou Care Trust in Zimbabwe and Maya Parish in Uganda. We raised a total of £800, which is a splendid result. Robert Francis
Bacon Butties
We raised £90 from Bacon Butties last Sunday, and we also raised £75 from Coffee & Croissants last month. That gives a total of £165 which will go to Service Charities. Thank you for supporting this initiative. Robert Francis
Bazaar
The bazaar is planned for Saturday 4th December. We shall be needing bottles for the bottle stall, cakes for the teas and the cake stall, books, gifts and hampers for the Grand Draw. We shall also need people to help man the stalls. The fete in the summer was a great success and we are hoping the bazaar will be too. You have all been so very generous in the past and we are asking for your generosity once again. Please contact me if you think you can help. Jean Morgan
