With Christmas just around the corner, let's take a few moments to see what's been going on and what's taking place during the next few weeks.

Thanks to all who supported the Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box Appeal this year. 88 boxes were taken to the collection point in Jarrow. The sum of £170 was also handed in. This amount is in addition to the money enclosed in the shoeboxes. Transport costs were therefore covered and all our boxes are on their way to Romania.

Thanks to all those who supported the Christmas Fayre, which raised £2001. A special THANK YOU goes to Jane and Rose for co-ordinating the event. 10% of the money raised will be given to all a missionary in the Philippians to train.

Just in case you are not sure of the Christmas Services please find a reminder below

The Fellowship will be leading two Carol Services as shown below - please support these events.

If you would like a copy of the "Memories" book compiled by the Women's Fellowship/Koinonia, in aid of the Building Project, please see Rita.

Christmas cards, together with a donation, should be handed to Denise by Sunday 10th December. The post box will also be available from this date.

Christmas Magazine is available from Denise - 50p.

Finally, can I take the opportunity to wish you all a happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

David
