CHURCH FUNDS

Just to keep our Parish Church open we need to raise nearly £33 each and every day.

We are looking at a number of fundraising ideas – would you be willing to join others in sponsoring a day – your birthday perhaps or wedding anniversary?  All donations, offers of regular giving or fundraising ideas to Debra, please.

BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

Who do you think you are?  When an unsigned postcard bearing the four first names of family who died in Auschwitz is received an investigation ensues not only into the identity of the sender but of the lives and deaths of those recorded on the postcard – a compelling read.  I heartedly recommend Anne Berest’s “The Postcard” to you.

The premise was promising – a whodunnit novel based on characters of the famous 1930’s Detection Club – Kelly Oliver’s “The Case of the Christie Conspiracy” – but it didn’t work for me, language and syntax all wrong!

A further volume of the “Down to Earth” series by Faith Addis, “Green Behind the Ears” is also available – a light, amusing read as the Addis family continue to run their Devon small holding and provide countryside holidays for young school age guests.

Help us to track biodiversity in the churchyard.

Spring is a perfect time to spot nesting birds, insects and flowering plants.

Please jot down what you see on the Biodiversity List in the church porch.
