Community Christmas Card
The Community Christmas Cards are now in place in the church porch and on the noticeboard in the church hall and are ready to use! There are “holly leaves” and felt pens in a basket near the cards on which you can write your message, and then use the blue tack to fasten it to the Community Christmas Card. There are also details to help you make a donation to the Charles Thompson Mission if you wish to do so.
