SWIFT BOXES

We have secured consent from the Archdeacon to install four swift boxes.

These have been affixed to the north side of the church in the hope of encouraging the return of swifts to nest at the church.

Our thanks go to the generous donors who defrayed the cost of the boxes and to the volunteers who installed them.

50/50 SALE

It was a dark & stormy morning, but the church was bright with lots of pre-loved accessories. Many thanks to those of you who donated your lovely items. People enjoyed browsing and chatting and trying on amazing hats!

 

Coffee and cakes were much enjoyed too! The final total raised for the church was £278.60. Many thanks to all of our generous shoppers!

Such was the appeal of this occasion that we are having another sale on OCTOBER 15th! We will combine with Langham for this one and it will be held at LANGHAM CHURCH. Make a note in your diary and look out for more details in the September magazine.

Buying preloved is so important for the good of our planet and it happens to be fun too!
