Every one who braved the weather to attend the evening of Christmas Music and Poetry at St. Helen's Church was treated to a feast of seasonal items Berenice read a wide selection of poems and was joined by Maeve, Matilda, Sebastian and James who read some amusing pieces so well. Lesley treated us to some beautiful music on the flute. During the interval everyone enjoyed a time of fellowship over a glass of mulled wine and mine pies.Donations for the Church Clock Appeal raised £106. Thank you to everyone who gave so generously.
On Saturday 15th October, a cheque was handed over to the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) for the amount of £1,916. MNDA was selected by the Parochial Church Council at St Helens Church as the charity to receive donations during the months of May – August. The donations were collected at St Helens Day in May, and at the regular Saturday morning and Sunday Tea at The Tower openings. A very big thank you to everyone who donated so generously. The cheque was presented to Mike Coleman, local chair of MNDA. Other representatives of MNDA were present alongside Church Warden Ken Moth and St Helens member David Hodkinson who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in February 2021. David commented “every penny raised gives real hope that a cure can be found.” The MNDA provide invaluable help and support to people diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and their families and friends
