JANE GOWER RIP
Jane died peacefully surrounded by her family in Addenbrooke’s Hospital on the 7th January. She will have a private cremation and the family hope to hold a memorial service in the church when we reopen.
SAVE THE DATES
We will be having a Prayer Day on Sunday 20th March 2022 to pray for God’s continued provision for funds for our church refurbishment. This will be followed by a Gift Day on Saturday 26th March 2022. More details to follow.
SPONSORED CHAIRS
The amount raised is £ 41,671 to date plus Gift Aid to be added and accounts for 169 chairs. The reason why the total is not a multiple of £ 250 is that some donors contributed less and some more than the £ 250, but of course all donations are welcome.
A BIG THANK YOU To all who have put their names forward to go onto the Saturday Coffee rota when we are back in Church. Had a really good response. Now though……….. we desperately need some help for this to happen with setting up tables and chairs on a Friday evening say from 5.30 pm and putting away after coffee on Saturday say at 11.45 am. Ideally we would like to see 2 people per team. We cannot run the coffee without this help. Please make contact with me as soon as possible on the usual number and email. Thank you Joanne.
FAULTY A proposal to donate scorched timbers and stone fragments from the church to Royston Museum has been made by the PCC. Faculty details will be on display outside church and on the website (www.roystonparishchurch.org.uk). The faculty will be displayed from the 7th January for 5 weeks.
