ST CHRISTOPHER’S: A local interest group have been helping out with getting St Christopher’s back into use.  They are busy clearing the grounds.  The roof has been repaired and new outer doors installed.  The building will be used for this group over the summer and the plan is to hold our next joint service there on the fifth Sunday of September:  10:00, 29th September.   In the near future we would like to get a working party together to help Inspiring Positive Futures, Newington (above) to get the grounds clear before their Community Fun Day 24th August.  They have put an amazing amount of work into getting St Christopher’s tidy and clean - just need some additional support.  Please let Kevin/Sharon/Alison know if you are able to help.  Many thanks.   Just a little reminder for all those who are eligible for gift aid, please could we have completed Planned Giving Scheme forms back as soon as possible.  Those received will be sent by second week in August.  Thank you!
