Thank you!

... to the PCC and congregation of St. Jude's Church ... for a lovely card, and most generous gift recently, together with flowers for Mary.

Since retirement became a possibility nearly three years ago, right up to becoming a reality recently, we have received so many kindnesses and gifts from all the Churches of our Parishes - St. Boniface, St. Jude's, and Calveley - both collectively and individually.

Our most grateful thanks, once again, to everyone.

Mary and Walter Williamson

Christian Aid Week, 9-15 May

At the time of writing, most of the envelopes have been returned yielding a total collection of £997. this compares with £1,002 for 1998, so the result is virtually the same as last year. These sums are the combined collections from both Bunbury and Tilstone Fearnall.

It is appropriate to say "Thank You" to all those who supported the Christian Aid Week by their donations and also those responsible for the distribution and collection of envelopes.

Childrens' Society Smartie Appeal:

"Thank You" to those who have returned another 10 tubes since last month. This makes the total so far returned to 86, so there are still 214 asking to be returned to the Treasurer!
