**Please can you help our Sunday Projection Team?** We're looking for people to join us in preparing and projecting the services onto our screens. We work on a rota basis, so you would take a turn every 4 - 5 weeks. We use Powerpoint and do most of the preparation on our home PC's.  We have an extensive database of hymns and other items, which we use to build the weekly Powerpoint file. If you are interested, please speak to Richard Bott, Sarah Waine or Sharon Barbarez who can explain what's involved and give you a demonstration. 

There is a decorated A-frame at the back of the church for anyone who wants to send a Christmas card and message to the church family rather than individual cards. 

Are you looking for a gift with meaning this Christmas? With every Extraordinary Gift from All We Can, you will receive a card to pass on to your loved one, showing them the difference their gift could make. All the proceeds from Extraordinary Gifts go to wherever the need is greatest. You have until Thursday 18th December to secure your Extraordinary Gifts in time for Christmas! Let's make this Christmas Extraordinary! Order your Extraordinary Gifts now: allwecan.org.uk/exgifts/
