Remember to bring fruit and veg for Harvest Festival on Saturday

Sophia bringing rolls for the braai last weekend... let's return the compliment, Men for the Master, and help out the WA with Harvest Festival preparations on Saturday


The Women's Association met on Tuesday with two major agenda items. It's Harvest Festival on Sunday and Sophia, Nora and Margaret are reminding one and all to bring fresh vegetables, indeed even tinned goods, on Saturday for display at the front of the church on the Sabbath  Please give generously. The vegetables, fruits and tins will be donated to the needy next week. And yes it would be great if you could come to Church on Saturday to help out with the decorating .... the men are welcome too. The call time is 13h30.

Then it's David's Baby Shower on Saturday at 15h00. It may be a bit unconventional to have the baby at the shower, but his birth pre-empted the doctor's prediction by a month. The little lad is fighting a case of jaundice at the moment, but Solomon and Perpetue are hopeful that David will be fit by the weekend. Please uphold the family in your prayers.

Back breaking work, but now we have scope for some home improvements ... but perhaps we need to fence this area off first to keep out the vagrants.

The WA are our champion cash generators and they are also very canny when it comes to saving money. They have decided that the gardeners in the group will look to their home gardens for extra plants for the church, instead of buying these from nurseries. That money will now be spent on other projects. The Men for the Master have already cleared a nice bed down the side of the A S Welsh Hall and will be looking at this space with interest.  

The WA also likes the Men for the Master's idea of putting together a tool kit for the church to enable members of the congregation to give of their labour without having to invest in expensive kit. So if you have duplicate tools at home let's donate them and we can store them securely in the Resource Centre. If you think this is a good idea, or indeed if you have a better idea, use the "Comment" button below to "have your say."
