Why not come and join in our next Scargill Weekend which will take place from Friday 14th until Sunday 16th October 2022? There are still some places available.
Scargill is a Christian based community of people who live, work and pray together and the purpose of the weekend is to spend time together as a church family.
The cost for an adult is £145 (or £165 if you are in an en-suite room). Please request an en-suite room early if this is important to you as they were in high demand last time. For children the cost is greatly reduced. Please have a word with the Vicar to ask for further details.
DVDs included on ‘It will be alright on the night to order
As various people have asked us if it was possible to order a DVD of ‘It will be alright on the night’, we have decided to offer at least these options-
If you would like one or more of the above DVDs, please fill in the sheet at the back of church. Cost is £5 per DVD.
Ideal presents for those who now live away or couldn’t attend & who were in it; or whose parents were in it!
If you have any queries or specifically want a copy of one of the ‘Allo’ ‘Allo’ DVDs, please speak to Elaine or Barbara.
Thank you.
