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 **************************** This week and next and then on alternate Sundays there will be a table at the back of church displaying olive wood articles made by Christian families in Bethlehem. All the money from the sale of these products goes to support Palestinian Christians who often feel that they have been forgotten by the world-wide Christian community. This is a way to "Keep Hope Alive" as well as assist their economy.
