Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever Psalm 131
Dear All,
Church Workday
Peter writes “We are having a clear up day on Saturday, November 29th.There will be plenty of jobs to do as we cut back and clear a number of areas in the paddock that have become overgrown.
We are very grateful that Matt will be there to advise us and will have a heavy duty chipper to help in removing the waste. We will also be tidying up the inside of the church premises.
Please come along and feel free to bring along your own tools that you feel comfortable using.
Let me know if you are coming along on admin@plumeavenuechurch.org.uk so we can have enough food. Start is at 10.00 and will be going ahead regardless of the weather, hopefully the sun will be shining on us all.”
