Christmas Bazaar:

Barbara Humphries would like to thank all those who ran stalls and helped in any way with the Christmas Bazaar. It was a very enjoyable event. We raised over £1,300! (I would like to send a big thank you to Barbara for taking on the role of co-ordinating the event this year. Yvette Wright.)

Many thanks to all those who gave us bric-a-brac for the Bazaar. We had such a lot that we could not display it all. However, we have a Mission Coffee Morning on Saturday 19th January 2013, and will be using all we have left for that morning. Very many thanks for being so generous. Ella Allen.

KMC

One of the items coming out of the Family Friendly Weekend was how we appeared to those outside the church. Two major improvements in our external appearance have now been completed. Last week the exterior of our building on Broadway received a facelift. We now have 2 new notice boards, our logo on the glass doors, and our name above the doors under the cross. The old notice board outside the flats above the chemist has been taken away. Please brave the cold and have a look!

The other improvement is the relaunch of our web site. Colin, John and Dave have been working hard and the result of their labours is now live - as you will have seen by reading this!

The new look is designed to be easier to navigate and has a modern fresher feel. On the technical side, the new site is designed to be easier to keep up to date. Well done to all involved!

Entries for the next Weekly Notices for Sunday 9th December to Yvette no later than 8pm Thursday 6th December.
