The church has returned to ‘normal’ after the Christmas season – thanks to everyone who contributed to tidying things away including the outside nativity scene, and to Chinthurst School who helped with removal of the large Christmas tree. Chinthurst School also made a donation to the church of £457.70 collected at their Christmas Carol Service at the end of last term.
A couple of errors crept into the calendar at the end of these emails. Please note the correct for our annual Jumble Sale which is on Saturday 22nd February. Hopefully it is well timed to benefit from any New Years clear outs you are planning at home.
With every blessing,
Tim
