Church opening and closing at Holy Cross
We aim to keep the church open during the day as recommended by our insurance company, but we need some more volunteers to help with closing the church. This is done by two people and even if you are not able to commit to a regular slot, ad hoc cover for holidays, sickness etc would be very welcome. Please see Mike Coeshott in church or email mikejcoe@aol.com. At the moment we are unable to open the church on Thursdays.
Coffee morning in Havenstreet
There will be a coffee morning at the home of Joy Wickens at 10.30 on Friday 7 February. Please contact Liz Holden on 872877 for details.
