The Mission Committee
LENT APPEAL.
This year we have chosen to support children affected by the war in Gaza, both those living in Gaza and those who are refugees elsewhere. We are going to do this through UNICEF, who are currently working in Gaza. There will be more information about the work they are doing on the Mission Board in Church and the usual collection box for your donations. Cheques can be made payable to UNICEF and if you wish to add gift aid, we hope to have gift aid forms available.
The Mission Committee.
We have an agreement with the Woodland House Group (https://woodlandhousegroup.co.uk/ ) to use the car park on Church Lane at weekends for our services and events, however there may be occasions when this is not possible, but they will very kindly give us notice.No parking will be available by the West door.
