We would like to give a huge thank you to everyone who helped or attended what was a busy and well received Saturday Morning.

Under torturous underfoot icy conditions brave volunteers handed out 200 mince pies, generously donated by Latchford Co-Op.

Over 70 Christmas Angles, knitted by volunteers throughout this year, where shared around the village or left in strategic places for people to find and take home.

The morning was wrapped up by a good and enjoyable carol singing in the village Centre.

The Latchford postal elves have announced the last date for posting cards is this Friday 16th.

Christmas cards will be available for collection on Sunday 18th.

Please clearly mark your Christmas cards with the recipients full name to make it easier for the elves to sort.

Yesterday’s Christmas Brunch and stalls was very successful with over £300 raised. A big thank  you to everyone who helped and attended.

The flower list for next year is now available and can be found on the pulpit table.

There is a coffee morning on Tuesday 22nd at Epson Gardens in Appleton between 10.30 and 12. Come along and sing your favorite Christmas Carols.

Donations are in aid of Room in the Inn.

The Elves have been hard at work and installed a Christmas card post box near the font within church. Please clearly mark your Christmas cards with the recipients full name to make it easier for the elves to sort.

Keith from Lyons court has sent us a wonderful thank you card. He wanted to thank everyone for all the effort that went into the hamper he won. Keith attended a recent event and was surprised at the friendliness he received from everyone within the church.

He isn’t very well at the moment and so please pray for him.
