DATES FOR YOUR DIARY

Westoning Gift Day – we are holding a Gift Day in conjunction with the Annual Bike ‘n’ Hike on Saturday 9th September. The church will be open to all from 10am-4pm when plans for developing the back area of church will be on display. The day is aimed at making the community aware of what the church offers and how, particularly in the current financial climate, it becomes increasingly more difficult to maintain the church. Could you be a welcomer on that day or bake a cake for free refreshments on offer? Please speak to Margaret T, Julie or Janice.

HELP NEEDED – We are delivering an invitation to attend Gift Day to every house in Westoning. Could you offer tocover a road or two? Please speak to Linda L (01525 714064. Thank you for considering this.

Harlington Gift Day – Saturday 9th September – 10.00am – 4.00pm. The church will be open, with refreshments and lots of different activities for all ages. Nature quiz and activities and craft, plus live organ music. Help us complete a picture of the “Church in Coins” (come with your spare change!).
