PARTY for Sunday School & Wednesday Club This year the party is being planned to  take place next Friday 18th Dec. from 6.30 - 8.00pm. We would appreciate the congregation's support and help again to ensure that all the children enjoy themselves. This year we expect a lot more to attend....perhaps 40 or more.... so we need at least 3 volunteers to take charge in the kitchen while the Party is being run by the leaders. If you would like to help in any way please indicate how by signing the list of requirements on the poster on the noticeboard. For food items it will be helpful if you could write the number you expect to provide beside your name.
