Partner organization for February: Mothers’ Union
The Mothers’ Union is different. We are about relationships: families, and those without family. Not all our gifts are material things, but they’re always what communities need. Sometimes people need love, cultural understanding, and relevant expertise, more than they need a wheelbarrow or a farm animal. Mothers Union worldwide projects.
SAMMYS: A music group for under 7s
Starting on 14 January and running on a Saturday morning from 10am–11am, children will learn the basics of music, singing and rhythm, while parents relax and have coffee. Anyone with a child interested in joining SAMMY’S please get in touch—sally.welch@19a.org.uk.
See this page.
Could St Margaret’s be more welcoming and if so, how?
We want St Margaret’s to provide a real welcome to everyone, young and old, individuals and families, whatever their tradition. Hospitality is at the heart of the Gospel and must be a precious gift we offer, not only to everyone who comes, but to each other, as existing members of our church family. Please can anyone interested in this vital ministry, in which we can all play a part, make contact with Georgie Simpson and share your ideas, either in person, or by email georgie.simpson1@gmail.com or by calling 01865 775160.
