International Women’s Day event – Tuesday

International Women’s Day

Tuesday 7th March 7:00pm

‘Market Place’ see poster

Crown Inn Whalley Road Accrington

Plenty of stalls and things to see. Please come along

 

We hope you like the new kitchen!

 

The total cost was £9504

Thanks to generous donations in memory of loved ones £5277 of this has been covered.

Can you help fund the final £4227?

Every pound raised will help avoid depleting the building fund – which will be needed to cope with other work arising from the 5 yearly inspection of the church?

Donations grateful received – either in a gift envelope marked for the church building fund or direct into the church bank account using ‘kitchen’ as your reference.

Thank you
