We are pleased to announce that the Ash Christmas Post this year raised £197.90 for church funds. Our very grateful thanks to the Clark family for all their hard work in sorting out the cards and to all the posties for delivering them.

We were very pleased to welcome 523 people to our two Christingle services on Christmas Eve and are very proud to announce that we raised £729 for the Children’s Society – which is a magnificent total! Many thanks indeed to all who helped make the two services so successful: To Dorothy and Susan, to our car parking team, to our Bell Ringers, Organists/Pianists, Welcomers, Stewards, Orange corers and Christingle assemblers and everyone else who helped before and on the day.
