The school holidays have started and many parents will be struggling to feed their families. The FoodBank will have many extra clients. So PLEASE when you shop buy an extra item from the list and put it in the box!
General Data Protection Regulation. Because of the new regulation we have to ask all members and regular worshipers for permission to use Personal Data. The permission forms are on the table. Please include your address and Phone number, so we can check that the information we already hold is correct. Completed forms should be given to Marcia.
Church Flowers. The flowers that decorate our church every week are donated by many people for a variety of reasons. We have a team who purchase and arrange them and Marilyn Edwards looks after the money so all donations should be given to her.

The Red Box Project seeks to provide free sanitary items for the youth in schools. RCT are going to put boxes in as many schools as possible for the academic year 2018/2019
A list of suggested items is on the board. We have received a generous cash donation which has already been spent! A box is under the table!
