Melbourn & Meldreth Churches Together

Christmas

If any of you enjoy Carol singing why not come to The Black Horse on Wed Dec 8th about 9pm and join in with members of the churches who will be there.

Also on Sat 18th at 10.30am come and join us at ‘The Cross’ for more Carol singing and we hope it will be a littler warmer that last year.

Church Services over Christmas are many and varied. Each of the churches in Melbourn & Meldreth will have a list of their services.

In January 2011 we celebrate ‘The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity’ for details see the dates below.

SOAS

Would you like to help SOAS

and at the same time enjoy a monthly flutter ? SOAS is a non-denominational Registered Charity which raises funds which can only be spent on maintaining the village’s medieval treasure, which is All Saints’ Parish Church.

One of our activities is the SOAS 100 Club where people can buy one (or more) share for £1 a month. Half of the money collected is paid out in the form of a first and a second prize which is drawn at the end of each month: the other half goes into SOAS funds. Currently we have 76 members so the odds of winning something are considerably better than the Lottery or Premium Bonds!

Normally people in the scheme renew their membership by paying £12 in January for that year but, if you wish to join contact: Kersti Llewellyn-Beard at 10 Cross Lane, Melbourn, SG8 6AG.

All Saints’ has been here for 800 years – we must preserve it for the future people of Melbourn.
