Working Party |
|
We're very grateful to those who came and helped at the working party on 14 September. We were a small group, and while we achieved a lot, there are some outstanding jobs, notably cleaning windows inside the building. If you are able to help with this in your own time, please get in touch with Trevor Durston for details. |

You can come along even if you don't have kids/grandkids - it's for all ages. And please also pray for this work. Remember - it's part of Sheldon Road's mission work.

Saving Gas, Money and the Planet |
|
Last winter for the first time we set up a rota of a few volunteers to adjust the heating controls so that they are synchronised with the bookings calendar. We started in January and used 8.5% less gas than for the same period the previous year. That resulted in a saving of £425. Some of this might have been because of the weather but it did seem very worthwhile. This year we hope to have even more savings by starting this synchronisation process in October, and because the price of our gas will double from Dec as we enter a new contract. If you'd like to join this rota to help keep gas consumption and costs down please speak to Trevor Durston. |

Saturday 30th November – Community Arts & Crafts Fair |
Although this feels a long way off we need to kick off the organising. If you would like a table either for your business (£20) or to sell something to raise funds for church (free) please contact us. Send a message with what you are selling, if for a business or for church, and your email address.
If you have a skill that we could utilise for a craft on the day please let Tammy know if you would be willing to host a craft and what it would be. It will then be taken to committee and we can work out what will work best at the Community Art and Craft Fair. Thank you together we can make an amazing day again. Thank You. |
