A few Thank-You’s
Heartfelt thanks from all at the Village and Bethlehem House of Bread Food Banks for the many many kind donations received on Harvest Sunday. Such generosity is greatly appreciated. (We’ve added more about this on a separate blog post.)
Thank-you to everyone who ‘popped in a pound’ for our Mission Partners in South Africa at worship on Sunday 5th October. £80 was donated to South Africa in the big red bucket. Thank you all so much!
A great big thank you is extended to everyone who helped raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support during the month of September. A total of £400 was raised, with an additional sum of £80 being raised through Gift Aid donations (final total £480).
