to knit legwarmers for use in trampolining to raise money for the Cystic
Fibrosis Trust’s funds. For more information visit www.supertramp.co.uk

LINKING
UP WITH THE CROSS SCYTHES Recently,
Murray had a meeting with the landlords and Richard Wilshaw, from Mount View,
who shared in leading the carols evening with before Christmas. Tom, the
landlord was still talking with amazement about how good the Carols Evening was, so the first thing
was to book another one for Thurs 19th
Dec at 7.30 pm. Please put that date in the diary! We also talked about linking our sound system
with theirs so that we can have the music all around the pub!
We also thought of having an
event for children which will be a ‘Fancy
Dress Nativity’ – we thought if children got dressed up, they could help us
tell the Christmas story with a few carols to help us along. We have pencilled that in for 3.30 pm on Mon 23rd Dec -
let me know if that sounds a good time.

From Murray
At a
recent PCC meeting we decided to switch from supporting Tearfund to supporting Christian
Aid at our harvest services each year.
Though
I have supported Tearfund for many years I have not been so impressed with the
quality of the material in the last few years.
Last year I realised that I could not use the Tearfund material and so
switched to Christian Aid and found that it was well presented and easy to use.
However,
if you would like to continue supporting Tearfund Pam Yates operates a scheme to
support Tearfund’s Children at Risk program.
They write: Traffickers lure thousands of
children each year into existences of horrific abuse, coaxing them from their
villages with empty promises of easy money and glamorous work in big
cities. Tearfund partner warns rural
Cambodians of the dangers and rehabilitates those who make it home. But they
need your support.
Please speak to Pam Y if you would like
to join in helping these children through this program.
