Something For Nothing
St Margaret's Day - 19/07/08
This St. Margaret’s Day we are inviting the whole church to come together… but not just for a great social time together (although we hope to do that as well), but to serve our neighbours.
LATEST NEWS: A huge 'Thank You' to everyone who took part in what was a highly successful day for all. Below are a selection of pictures from the day. . .
What is 'Something For Nothing' ?
We hope to offer to serve our neighbours and those in need in the town, by doing jobs in small teams that will help – garden clearance, simple decorating or tidying – whatever odd jobs that may need doing. We want to make a positive difference in people’s lives and to demonstrate in our actions the Grace (free love) of God.
We hope everyone will be able to find a way of helping… for some doing physical work, for others showing friendship and kindness, for others preparing and serving food. We plan to end the day with a barbeque in the early evening to which all will be invited, workers and those who may have received help.

Meanwhile, the Lads are out fighting with a rather unruly hedge...
...that's much better!
A quick stop for a photo...
...but doesn't the garden look better?!
The hedge is almost gone...
Job done. It's off home for a quick wash then to the BBQ...
