The January coffee morning kicked off in fine style with £151 being raised to support the work our own Chapel does here in the village. A good turnout and a lengthy raffle was enjoyed.

A intrepid group of about 14 people ventured out around the village and ended up in the Railway pub singing carols and collecting for the Methodist Homes dementia care project. A total of £653.60 was raised which includes a number of previous events including a carol service at Corley which the choir sang for. Many thanks to all who welcomed us as we sang. The money raised is being sent to the Methodist homes specifically to support the use of robotic pets in their homes.

The children enjoyed making the orange based Christingles and the carers had tea and coffee! Many thanks to all who helped set up and we wish you a Merry Christmas as it as sung at the close of the service. The team put up our annual nativity display beating the weather and the rain which held off long enough to allow it to be dry even if a bit windy! Many thanks to the team again who are getting quicker each year! The featured story this time was the healing of the blind man. The children commented on the different Jesus as Arthur was away and Mike had to be a substitute!  Great attendance at the coffee morning raising £200 for the Homeless charity Emmaus. We met to support Childline raising the lovely amount of £185. A good number of people attended and there were some great raffle prizes. We celebrated David Little’s birthday in some style too. The place was so busy we almost ran out of cups today - with thanks to Hazel and Elizabeth for their cakes and service. A total of 28 shoeboxes and over £50 in donations for the transport were delivered to Link to Hope today. Thank you to all who have contributed.  The coffee morning today raised £95 for the Purple Community fund. There were some lovely cakes made by Fiona and it was good to see Theresa and Peter out and about again after her recent illness.
