We met today to raise £219 for our own chapel. There were some cakes to celebrate a 50th birthday for Helen this week and an 80th birthday a little later on for her mum Hazel.

This month the Open the Book team have visited the Story of Joseph and his dreams and how he helped Egypt and the Pharoah survive the good and bad times. His chariot was a work of art.  We met this morning to raise £140 for UK Breast Cancer. Some people were put off by the weather and others are still struck down with the winter flu bug but they gave money to support the charity and several of the ladies present have received treatment for this disease and know how important research is.
Thanks to Jacky, Jane and Alison who provided the cakes and service . The choir and other hardy souls supported the round the village carol singing raising £240, on what was a lovely evening but very much in the bleak mid winter! Our thanks to all the singers and the householders who supported us raising money for British Heart Foundation. A total of £822.44 will be sent off in the New Year to support this cause thank you. Our annual candlelit carol service was led this year at short notice by Jackie as Rev Karen was ill. However the readings and the carols were still completed along with accompanied by the choir who raised decants to most of the carols and sang their own selection of choir carols. Thanks to all our readers, Jackie, the choir and everyone involved with refreshments afterwards for a lovely service. After a very slow start (we thought the awful weather had put people off) we ended up with around 38 attendees, and made £249 for Coventry Open Christmas; a homeless charity, Today we met to raise £241.50 for Action for Children who provide long-term, stable support to children and young people. They also help run vital community services that local authorities can’t fund. A good number of people came and supported the morning thank you.
Twenty three boxes have been collected and will soon be forwarded to the delivery point for Eastern European countries. Many thanks to all who have supported this appeal this year.  Brian's concert was enjoyed by many and raised £254 for the chapel. Thank you. |
