ST LAWRENCE CLOCK APPEAL: 

THANK YOU to everyone who came along and supported the Art Show last week at St Laurence Church.  There was a lot of lovely art on show.  We raised a fantastic £611 towards the clock restoration fund.

We now have a “Go fund me” page up and running, it can be found at https://gofund.me/581f5ddd Please pass this on to anyone who would like to donate to the fund. There are also posters up in St Laurence Church with Go fund me tags for people to take the information home.

The NEW BANK ACCOUNT details for the clock appeal are Lloyds Bank, sort code 30-99-50 and account number 37336762. The account name is St Lawrence Clock Restoration Appeal. You are able to pay donations direct into this account either as a one off donation or a monthly direct debit. Please support us where you can, the more people who make donations or come to our events, the quicker we will reach the target and get the restoration work underway. - Freda Parker (Tower Captain)

7.00pm on Wednesday 10th July.   The Parochial Wardens of St Laurence-in-Thanet would be delighted if you will celebrate the Licensing of the Revd Catherine Tucker as Priest-in-Charge of the St Laurence-in-Thanet Benefice by the Rt Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin, Bishop of Dover with the Ven.

SAFEGUARDING TRAINING: It is proposed to hold a safeguarding course in the Parish after the summer holidays (probably September at St Mark’s).  To this end, please could all Church Officers, group and club leaders look at the members and leaders to ascertain who requires training/renewal.  This will help us get an idea of numbers and whether more than one session will need to be arranged.  – Please forward information to Sue Cox.
