A Warm Welcome if you are new or visiting; please have a chat with Revd Amanda, one of the readers or the churchwardens - we don't want to miss you! Thank you.

Operation Christmas Child - This Sunday is the last Sunday for bringing in boxes. A very big thank you to everyone for your help, in donating money, covering and filling boxes and helping to put together the extra boxes a week last Wednesday. An extra 15 boxes were assembled from goods donated by Asda and supplied also by Revd Amanda and me. Some goods, which we were short of, were bought from the £70 that I have received in donations. This still leaves £50 which will pay for the 15 boxes, plus 5 extra boxes, to be sent abroad. Many, many thanks for all your efforts. I will let you know the total number of boxes taken to Mansfield and, if possible, where they are being sent. Margaret Williamson.
