With this very cold weather, don’t forget our weekly Warm Welcome resumes on Thursday 8th January from 10am in St Petrock’s. Hot drinks and delicious cakes await you – all are welcome! Marion and Kate

We have decided not to restart our monthly churchyard maintence in January. Bit too cold for us! Our next date, when we hope you will be able to offer some assistance, will be Saturday 14th February between 10am and 12 noon. Our intention is to meet on the second Saturday of each month so no-one has to miss The Lion big breakfast on the first Saturday of each month! Thank you all for your support. Happy New Year. Marion and Kate

The annual subscription is payable at this meeting which remains at £10 for the year with a £1 per meeting fee. Visitors are always welcome at £4. Refreshments are provided before the meetings.

Christingle and Carol Service.

A big thank you to the whole village for your wonderful support at these two recent Christmas events.

The first Christingle, held by The Church of England, was in 1968 to raise funds for The Children’s Society but the tradition can be traced back to 1747 in Germany. The word Christingle first appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1986. The Children’s Society estimates that around one million people now attend a Christingle service in the UK and the service still raises money for children’s charities.

This is the reason St Petrock’s split your generous donations between The Children’s Society and Save the Children.

This year £524.28 was raised between the two services and the two charities have each been sent £262.14. A wonderful total!

Thank you once again.
