Thank you to everyone at Church for their love and support to me during Edward's illness and also his funeral. £465 was sent in his memory to the British Heart Foundation.
Thank you. Pauline

Altar frontal repair: Our white altar frontal is badly in need of repair where some of the silk has come apart. These beautiful frontals form an important part of our worshipping life - even if you perhaps don't notice them every week! - but they are costly to maintain and repair. The repair will cost £500 - a local embroiderer has agreed to take on the work, and is only charging us minimum wage for her time which is extremely kind given the level of skill required. If you would like to contribute to the costs of this repair, I have set up an online 'pot' here: https://app.collectionpot.com/pot/beestonparishchurch, or you can leave a cash donation in the collection plate in an envelope marked 'altar cloth repair'. If donations exceed the £500 cost we will put any extra towards the upkeep of services (candles, etc.). Sheenagh
