MANY thanks to Jill, Julie and helpers at Farmers Arms, Birtsmorton for yet another very successful harvest supper/auction, where proceeds are being divided between Hollybush and Birtsmorton parish churches. Also a big thank you to everyone who was involved with the fun ride, which also raised funds for all our churches in the benefice. We do appreciate every bit of help.

On this note, we are desperately seeking items and pledges for our auction of goods and promises in November, no sensible item refused. As with all churches, the ongoing costs keep rising, hopefully this will be a fun evening with something on offer for everyone.

We still have our 100 club waiting for subscribers to renew. It is only £12 per year and you do get the chance to win some money back. Please phone me on (01684) 833287.
