Roof repairs - why now?All Saints Church is the oldest building in Horsford, a church has been on the site for over 900 and has faithfully served the village through weddings, baptisms, saying goodbye to loved ones, Sunday services and involvement in community projects, and it continues in faithful service to this day.The church roof is however now in need of urgent repairs, it leaks rainwater inside, it needs weatherproofing, new roof drains, new gutters and a new thatch roof. We need to raise £50,000 to do the repairs.How you can helpRaising £50,000 is a big task for a small church congregation but we have already managed to raise £10,000 towards the overall roof repairs project.Giving £21 would sponsor a bundle of reed thatch - we need about 1,000 bundles to rethatch the roof.Giving £25 would help towards making the roof watertight and weather-proof again.Giving £50 would help towards replacing ancient and leaking gutters with new glamorous and fit for purpose gutters.Ways to giveYou can give online.

From Horsford C of E Primary School news sheet April 2022Revd Margaret joins with the school Spring Challenge which this term was to collect Easter Eggs which would be donated to the local care homes via Reverend Margaret. Our original target was 60 eggs, however the enthusiasm of our children on both sites has meant we have well and truly exceeded this.Reverend Margaret collected a total of 264 eggs from both of the Easter services which she did with the children which now means we can also provide an egg to elderly people living on their own in the village as well as the amazing staff who work at the care homes.During the service at Mill Lane two children spoke confidently about why they donated eggs and how it made them feel knowing they would be putting a smile on faces. Their reasons for donating eggs was lovely to hear.Thank you for supporting the school with our challenge this term; Revd Margaret and Mrs Westlake, one of the office staff, will be distributing the eggs.Thank you to Tesco for donating a total of 33 eggs, 18 from Alysham and 15 from Drayton, really fantastic community support!!
