Christian Aid Week: A big thank you to everyone who has contributed to Christian Aid Week, whether it was attending the coffee morning, giving online or in an envelope. We have added the coffee morning total to what has been given in the envelopes and a total of £968.53 is being sent to Christian Aid. I am sure that money given online will greatly increase this. Thank you again. Janet Squire and the Christian Aid Committee.

Duck Race Tickets: Annette will be selling duck tickets at Church on the next few Sundays. They are a £1 a ticket and there are five prizes ranging from £100 down to £10. The Duck race takes place on Sunday 21 June followed by Teas on the Green, and the money raised will go to support Burley Scout and Guide group.
