The Village News: “It’s time for me to start working on the June newsletter – and once again I am looking for contributions.
It’s our Winter edition, and in addition to a roundup of church news, I was wondering – what are your favourite Winter activities? For example, if you are a reader, what do you enjoy reading? If there is a book or author that you particularly enjoy – maybe write a short review! If you sew, draw or paint, take a picture and email it to me with some words. If you write, send a poem! If you’re a keen cook – I would love to share some of your favourite Winter recipes. I look forward to hearing from you! Email your contributions to Hannie by the end of May.
Hearing assistance: Finding hearing our services a bit difficult? Find it hard to block out other noises? We have headphones with the live audio feed. Pick them up from the table by name badges.
