September garden tidy-up!

Saturday 7th September

From 9:30am – 11:30am

(you don’t need to do the full 2 hours – any time you can give to it is a bonus).

 The church gardens are in a desperate need of a ‘ tidy – up’, weeds and saplings are everywhere and are choking the plants we have. You don’t need to be a gardener, we can advise on what to pull out. If you have some garden tools or gloves that would be great, but not essential as we have some.

Please try and spare an hour to help – the more there are of us the quicker it will be.

Thank you

Church cleaning Saturday 7th September

Next church cleaning session

 Saturday 7th September  between 9:30 – 11:00am. 

All welcome to come along and help!

We are all members of the God’s church, so it would be lovely if you  could spend just half hour or so  to help make the church look nice and clean; you don’t have to stop the whole time. We generally have the same very few people turning up to help each time, it would be great to see some different faces, please come and help if you can – the more helpers we have the quicker it can be done!

The more the merrier!

Thank you your help will be greatly appreciated
