Sandylands Methodist Church

Building Project Fund Raising:

• Father Christmas float  – 3 more ‘definites’ needed to volunteer for collecting with the Lions Club on Tuesday 15th December, sharing the money collected.  PLEASE see Tony or Kath Dennison asap.
• Quiz money to Ivy or Wendy asap please – closing date 9th November.
• How is your ‘Silver for Sandylands’ collection going?  The little bottles are just the place for those fiddly 5 pences!  To date £89.52 has been collected.  More bottles available.
• Wednesday evening, November 11th – we are having a stall at Queen Katherine School’s Craft Fayre – sweets, preserves, cards, jewellery and more.  Do come along

2 future events for fund raising- watch for more details to come.

•  
  1. We hope to have a Table-Top sale(in-door car boot) in the New Year.  Please think if you would like to have a stall of your own, or keep items for a church stall – an opportunity to have a clear-out for Spring.
  2. Andrew and Samuel have each volunteered to do a sponsored head-shave – soon!!!

Lastly, a suggestion has been made that we might be able to raise money for church by selling unwanted items on e-Bay.  This would need someone with the necessary IT know-how who would manage the sales procedure and post off the parcels. If anyone is interested in looking at this further please speak to Wendy or Sarah.

There will be a meeting for all pastoral visitors on Wednesday 25^th November at 7.30pm at church. We are still looking for a couple of new visitors, please see Andrew if you are interested in helping.

Vic Steers would like to form a Prayer Group that will work alongside the other prayer initiatives that we have here at Sandylands.  If you feel this is for you, contact Vic or ring 015394 48182
