It’s time again to put the Village News together. This time, I hope to concentrate on our outreach as a church to the community. If you have a story to tell, or photos to share, please let me know! You can email or phone Hannie.
Cheese Rolls: If you’re feeling the cold, we suggest a lunch of a cup of soup and a cheese roll will warm you. We are again making cheese rolls as a fund-raising effort for the parish on Saturday, 14th June. These are priced at $15 a dozen, or $8 for 6. The forms are available at the Bryndwr and Papanui offices. A coffee voucher will be given to the person with the largest order, so ask around your family & friends, and place your orders at either Bryndwr or Papanui by June 8th. Anyone who is available to help with the making, please note that on the order form with your order. Thanks. Any queries to Lesley, Kath, or Christine
