St Nicholas Restoration Appeal - Re-pointing Brickwork 'BUY A BRICK' Scheme 2014 - 2015
Our church is currently in need of some urgent work to maintain the integrity of our church. Simply put Re-Pointing is the replacement of the mortar between the bricks that make up our church building. The mortar is the material between every brick that prevents water getting through the brickwork causing damp and damage to the inside of the church. We urgently need to raise £2000 to put towards the cost of the work required. The PCC has authorised a 'Buy a Brick' scheme and the great news is today we have already raised over £600 towards the target. Please help us to raise more by buying a brick for £5 or any multiple of this and we will gradually fill in our Brick Wall Appeal Poster in church to reflect our progress towards our goal. Donations can be made every Sunday via our Church Wardens Mike and Margaret mark all envelopes St Nicholas Re-Pointing Appeal 'Buy A Brick' Scheme. Thank you.
News from the Guides
Our Guides meet every Friday in the Church Centre between 6.30pm and 8.30pm and have membership between the ages of 10 and 14 years and a Senior Guides Section covering ages 15-25 years. The group organise and participate in a range of arts and crafts, outside sports and trips to outside centres. They undertake fundraising events and this assists towards the cost of trips such as this years Euro-Disney 2014 event. As always, we would welcome any new members. Please see Margaret Roberts, our Guide Leader and Church Warden.
