FRIENDS OF ST. IPPOLYTS CHURCH

We will be decorating the Church for our Harvest Festival on Saturday 30^th September from 9.30am.  Flower and/or basket arrangements will be most welcome as will gifts of produce and non-perishable items.

We will need help packing up the Harvest gifts on Monday 2^nd October from 9.30am.  Please come if you possibly can.  The non-perishable items will be shared between the North Herts. Shelter for the Homeless in Grove Road, Hitchin and the Food Bank in Letchworth.  Boxes of fruit and vegetables will be taken to people living in the parish so some small boxes would be most useful.

We will once again be starting the Christmas season with our wonderful Crib Festival.

Can you help?  Do you have a crib set that we can borrow?  It doesn't have to be shiny and glamorous, the battered family treasures often have a fascinating "story"

to tell.  Could you put up posters in one of the surrounding villages or hand out flyers at a group you attend?

As usual "sign-up sheets" for cakes and help to man the event will be up at the back of the church nearer the time so keep your eyes open!  Most importantly the best way of advertising this is by people spreading the word.  So if you think that it is as lovely as we do, tell everyone!  Many thanks.
