Sun 10th Feb – Cake Sale
We are having a cake sale to fund an outreach to children and their families this Easter time. It is the National Easter Egg Hunt.
The Meaningful Chocolate Company have partnered with Christian Publishing and Outreach to produce a yummy resource to engage families with the Easter story. The cost to provide this will be £1.50 per child.
Please could you make cakes and come along ready to buy and eat cake?
I shall also be selling the original milk chocolate egg. A Fairtrade, palm oil and plastic free product with a book of the Easter story. The RRP is £3.99 but you may wish to add a donation towards funding the National Easter Egg Hunt.

Our next Ladies’ Night will be on Thursday 14 February at 7.45pm for 8pm. Jeremy will be introducing us to some selected Italian wines so come and enjoy the evening. There are only a limited number of places so it is the first come, first served booking system. As before, there is a small charge (£5.00 per head) for this event to cover the cost of the wine (nibbles will be provided free of charge).
If you would like to come for chat and coffee but not the wine tasting that is fine. Just let us know and we will add you to the ‘nibbles’ list (no charge for this category!)
