ST IPPOLYTS CHURCH NATIVITY CRIB FESTIVAL 2^nd AND 3^rd   DECEMBER 

We will be holding our wonderful Nativity Crib festival again this year. Could you help?

Do you have a crib that we could borrow for the weekend? It doesn’t need to be grand, or even complete (the old and tatty ones often have the best “story”) the more different cribs of all shapes and sizes the better the festival is. If so, please contact Barbara This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 07443 228468.

Could you make a cake or help for a couple of hours over the weekend? There will be sign-up sheets at the back of the church or contact Barbara.

DO YOU HAVE ANY UNWANTED JIGSAW PUZZLES?

St Ippolyts Church will be holding a Jigsaw Puzzle Stall at the Parish Hall Christmas Fair on Saturday 25^th November. If you are a jigsaw puzzler and have any unwanted puzzles, please consider donating them to help raise funds to maintain our beautiful church. Jane Veasey (434254) or Mary Hooper (457350) are collecting the puzzles in advance of the fair at any time from 1^st October Puzzles may also be deposited at the back of the church.

Thank you!
