*******************************
Brian House Coffee Morning: Wow! Thank you to everyone who was able to support the coffee morning on Thursday. Particular thanks for those who couldn’t attend but sent a donation. We raised £178.00 for a very worthy cause.
The Pantry, Fleetwood Old Hospital: Our first delivery has been made to the Pantry and was received with grateful thanks. If those of us are able buy one extra tin or bag of pasta when we do our own shopping, we will be able to continue to make regular donations to those in our community who are genuinely struggling to survive.
Feast of the Nations: Just a reminder to sign up for this on 9th September. Tasting starts at 12 noon and you can come and go as you please. It’s a Churches Together in Fleetwood event, with lots of different nationalities and cultures being represented.
100 Club Winners: In July the lucky numbers drawn were for, Mavis Evans, Derek Warrington, Margaret Forshaw, Beryl Clarkson, Laura Martin, Lindsey Newton, Margaret Kershaw, Jeannette Norman, Berny McCarthy, Elizabeth King, Daniel Ashworth, Jillian Muir, Charles Evans, Dorothy Cox, Suzanne King, Gordon Roberts and Joy Broughton. If you’re not in the 100 club and would like to be, please see Ruth. It’s a bit of fun but at the same time it helps to top up our income.
St Nicholas Church & McVitie’s Biscuits: Can you believe that McVitie’s are filming a new advert for their famous Digestive biscuit and they want St Nic’s to be part of it. This coming Thursday the film crew and actors will descend upon us and shoot what will probably end up being a ten second shot of a baptism family exiting the church. We are thrilled to be chosen! So, keep your eyes peeled. We will receive a payment of £750 in return. Sadly, they don’t require any of us to be extras!!
Church Cleaning: This coming Saturday we’re going to undertake a deep clean of the church. We’re so grateful to the church sitters who do a bit of dusting and sweeping during the week which has meant our monthly cleans have been fewer. So, if your able, come along with a duster and some polish and give us a hand. It’s good to do it together.
Please also remember in your prayers: Peter Dell, Rev Jane Everitt, Jo Crosswell, Rev Martin Keighley, Elizabeth King, Chris Kelsall, Michaela Jones, Mark Price, and John Hawley. And the families of Karen Potter, Richard Hudson and Paul Douglas whose funerals are due to take place.
