Week commencing 1st December, 2013

Donations for The Besom

The Besom is  now busy preparing Hampers to be delivered shortly before Christmas.  Christmas items are needed in church by 8th December, please. I plan to deliver the contents of the box to Camberley on 9th or 10th of December to be made up and distributed.  Thankyou - Richard Roots.

Are you a handyperson?

Can you help ‘spruce up’ the inside porch roof area, which needs preparing for  a coat of paint? We are thinking of doing this in January or February. Please see Gordon Hunt if you are able to help.

Children's Society

This year's collection came to £561.55 - over £100 up on last year.  Our grateful thanks to all those who gave so generously, especially in these difficult times.  This money will be put to good use by The Children's Society helping the many vulnerable children and young people in so many ways. Thankyoiu - Janice and Frank Coyle

One Card for  Christmas

Once again I invite you to share Christmas greetings with your friends and fellow worshippers at St. Anne's and at the same time, make a donation to Connect Christian Counselling, by participating in the “One Card Christmas Card” scheme.  Place one Christmas card on the special board at the back of the church, and make a donation of the money you would have spent on further cards. I will  collect the donations to send to Connect and put up cards on the display board.        Pat Stone

Another great concert
