Christian Aid Week 12-18 May: If you would like to make a donation to the work of Christian Aid, click on THIS LINK to take you to their website.
Sun 17 May is Pentecost Sunday. If you're planning on attending on site, it would be great if you could wear something red - it's the colour for Pentecost. Given Pentecost is traditionally thought of as the birthday of the church, there may be something in addition to the usual biscuits after the service!
