Starfish Greathearts Foundation - 15 July

Sunday, 29 April 2012 19:58

Hold onto your old (good condition) children’s winter clothes!

On the 15th July Starfish will be returning to St John’s as one of our ‘Focus on Five’ charities.  Whilst you are clearing out any children’s winter clothes (or summer) please can you think of Starfish and put any unwanted clothes in a bag for the 15th July.

One of our number travels regularly to South Africa and has kindly offered to take out children’s clothes and to distribute them directly to the Starfish orphanages.

If you lack space and would like me to keep a bag in my garage - let me know.

Windlesham Village Choir

Sunday, 29 April 2012 19:57

To help celebrate the Jubilee in Windlesham we are getting together a Village Choir to perform at the village fete on 9th June.  We have had one practice so far, but it is not too late for you to join in!  The next rehearsal is this Wednesday (2nd May) at 8pm in the church.  No previous singing experience is required - just come along and have some fun singing some enjoyable music, and bring along any friends or neighbours.  Everyone is welcome.

Christian Aid Week 2012

Sunday, 29 April 2012 19:54

Christian Aid Week will be 14th May to 20th May.  Bags for collectors are at the back of the church for collection.

Please note that UK Aid Match will give pound for pound on our collected money up to five million, as Christian Aid works for poverty.  To qualify for this, money has to be in by the first week in July.

Windlesham Caring Annual Ploughman's Lunch

Electoral Roll

Sunday, 29 April 2012 19:49

This is a reminder that the Electoral Roll has now been re-opened and you can apply to go on it whenever you wish throughout the year.  Please remember the benefits of being on the roll include being eligible for election to PCC, eligibility to vote at the APCM and being prayed for, as was done at the recent Iona style services in Holy Week.

Please note that the total number of people on the roll does not affect our Parish Share.

Please check with the Parish Office to see if you are already on, or whether you need to apply.

It is my expectation that if you are a regular worshipper at St John's (at least twice a month) then your name should be on the Electoral Roll.
