Traidcraft is back!

There will be a Traidcraft stall after this morning’s service. This is an opportunity to buy goods that give a fair price back to the producers in the Third World. Bex would like to increase our awareness in particular of people traffiking in the cocoa trade and will have lots of fair trade chocolate for all those chocolate-lovers today! Take time to look at Bex’s display on the red noticeboard today and increase your awareness of the world traffiking problem. If you are able to help out with the Traidcraft stall on rota basis, please talk to Bex today or phone her.

Work Party

We will be holding a work party on Saturday 12th May - put the date in your diary! During the day we will want to erect a chain fence around the approach path to the church and rub down, seal and paint the two sets of doors into the church and hall. Other work will depend on weather and numbers of volunteers. Work starts at 8am with Priory Street's famous `work party breakfast` at 10am. If you are available, please sign the sheet on the church office door and you can contact Paul for any further information.
