Key Holders

Several times recently it has been found that the porch doors have not been properly locked (on one occasion the outer porch door was left ajar) – and/or that the Alarm hasn’t been set.

Would all key holders please ensure that both doors in the “old” porch and the “new” porch have been locked – and the alarm is activated. Thank you for your co-operation.

Food Bank

In the past week the mid Cheshire foodbank fed 99 people, including 41 children. Thank you to everybody who donates  food and to the Food Bank volunteers.
To help more people the Food Bank urgently need the following – Tinned fish (ZERO STOCK), Rice pudding, Small & medium boxes of cereal.
Large or small, all food donations are gratefully received.

😊

Why didn’t they play cards on the Ark? Because Noah was always standing on the deck.
