Shincliffe School Worship Choir: The Church funds a Worship Choir at the school. This is in addition to the music and singing that the staff arrange. It has been a much-valued choir, singing at the main services during the year. At present we do not have a director of the choir and it is in abeyance. Please let me know if you know of anyone who might be able to do this.

Church cleaning: takes place on the second Tuesday in the month at 10am. It takes about an hour depending on how many people come. This can vary from 2 to 7 people depending on peoples commitments. Many thanks, Margaret Charters

Foodbank: St. Mary’s is now making a weekly collection for the Foodbank:

The foodbank still needs longlife milk and fruit juice, tins of potatoes, vegetables, rice pudding, fruit and spaghetti. We always need household cleaning materials and toiletries

Many thanks for all your support, it is so much appreciated.

Friday Friends at 10am (FF@10) All are very welcome to join us; tea, coffee and cakes will be provided - all free of charge!’

With All Good Wishes and Prayers, Peter
