BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE – Any names to be entered in this Book should be given to Ann McDonald (01748 823223) along with the date of death and a donation of £5 Christian Aid Week 15th-21st May - 30-40 collectors are needed. Can you deliver to a street near you or to one of the other streets on St Mary's list (the RC and Methodist churches also take part)? There is a list on the table at the back of church and more information in the May magazine. I would also be grateful for help in sorting the envelopes into packs for collectors the week before, and for 'counting cash' people the week after. I've been doing this for nearly 30 years and I'm getting a bit slow! Many thanks if you can help. Anne (822277)
