Help!
Following this morning’s service we will require 14 volunteers to deliver bunches of daffodils to members of our congregation who have suffered bereavement during the past year. These with cards will be available in the Pillar Hall following our Service today. It will be of great help if you could collect your card(s) before you go for coffee and the daffodils on you way home. Your support will be greatly appreciated.
