Operation Christmas Child Boxes by 18 November 2014
We will be supporting this once again this year and leaflets for your
shoe boxes are now at the back of the church. The cut off date is
November 18th. The first container load of boxes will go to the
Phillippines so warm items may be useful - e.g. baseball
hats/sunglasses etc. But any subsequent boxes will be going to a cold
country so don't worry if you have put gloves and woolly hats in your
box. Paul Ingram

Christmas Quiz Night 6 December This is to be held at St Nicolas
on Saturday 6th December starting at 6.30pm and we are hoping to
finish around 9.00-9.30pm. Tickets will cost £5 each which will include
a fish & chip supper, but bring your own drinks, although tea and
coffee will be available too. Maximum players in each team are 4, so
have a word with friends and family and see if you can get a team
together to support us on the night. I am helping to organise this so I
would like to see a good turnout from St James', especially as any
funds raised will be split between the 2 churches. Paul Ingram
Night Shelter Will be running again this year at the church hall.
Starting Saturday 6th December for 3 months. We will be working with

help providing meals, laundry and help on shifts. There will be a
volunteer list put up in church in November and a request for
