At the end of November we had our annual Christmas Craft Fair which was very well attended. There were 15 excellent local craft stalls, plus the church stall. The ladies on refreshments were kept very busy all day and the event raised a very welcome £434 for church funds. A big thank you to Maureen and the ladies who made all the wonderful cakes.
We took four large carrier bags to the food bank in King’s Lynn in December, and the very next day there were goodies in our food bank box again. Please keep them coming and Thank You for your generosity.
At the end of November we were delighted that two of our congregation – Ellie Hammond and Julian Cox – were married at St Margaret’s. Both have been members of our church for several years. The wedding took place on Friday 28th November, and they were surrounded by their family and friends.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ELLIE AND JULIAN FROM ALL YOUR FRIENDS AT ST MARGARET’S.
One of our Thursday Coffee Morning ladies, Vera Osborne, once again was very happy to run a Christmas Greenery Arrangement Workshop for us in December. Nine people attended and I think all who did were amazed at the end results. Not only is Vera an excellent and very helpful teacher, but she also provided much of the necessary greenery, oasis and the basics we needed.
Our Christmas Coffee Morning Party was held on the 18th December and as usual was very well attended. Thank You to everyone who brought food and drink for everyone to enjoy.
On a sad note we said goodbye to Andrew Jarvis, at a memorial service in church on December 11th. The service was attended by his family and many actor friends, as well as friends from Clenchwarton. It was wonderful to hear the various readings (including some Shakespeare) read with such expression, and to hear the high regard and warmth with which he was held in the acting fraternity – ‘the master’. Rest in peace dear friend.
