News and Messages
Knowles Tooth
Toiletries Appeal
I am now starting to collect toiletries
for our stall at the Knowles Tooth Open Day on 5th
September. If you have any toiletries you wish
to donate, I would be most grateful to
receive them.
Please pass any contributions to me at
the 10.45am service or, if you would like me to collect
them, please call me on 262257.
Appeal for temporary accommodation
- can you help? Two Slovakian students (one male, one
female) studying economics and medicine and who are
friends of Dawn Catten’s neighbours, are seeking
accommodation until 26th August. Both speak English,
one very well. If you are able to help, please
contact Dawn on 262257.
St Marks Youth and
Children's Work
We are relaunching our youth and children's work in
September. The exact plan is yet to be decided, but it will be whizzy and fresh!
If you think you would be able to contribute in any way to the work with the
young people please contact me. We are also seeking to rename the groups so that
they are obvious what they are and who for, with clear progression -like
Scramblers, Climbers, Explorers, Pathfinders, but more modern like Urban
Saints.
If you have any ideas, please let me know. Thank you.

Flower Festival Appeal

aerosol lids/coffee lids. These will be filled with
oasis for the children to create flower arrangements

Eunice. Thank you!
New Kitchen Message
from Peter Hillman
A
reminder that the work to fit the new kitchen is due to
start on Tuesday 27th July and should be largely
completed by Friday 30th July.
Angela and I will be emptying all the
kitchen cupboards and drawers on the afternoon of Sunday
25th July. We would welcome any help from 2pm
onwards.The removal of the old kitchen cabinets should
be completed by the end of Tuesday 27th July. To save on
costs, the fitters will not remove them from the site
and they will need to be taken to the dump. Any help in
doing that would be much appreciated. If you would like
to salvage any of the units (for example for storage
use in your garage) please see me.
We are having a new cooker, the cost of
which is being met by an anonymous donation. The old one
still works, albeit rather slowly! If anyone would
like it or has any suggestions for its disposal, please
let me know (Tel: 258532).
Once the basic kitchen has been completed
we will assess what further work (painting etc) needs to
be done and hopefully this will be undertaken by a
willing band of volunteers!
