Good news!

St Mary's Church Hall roof.
We have just been promised funding from Grass Roots charity to repair the Church Hall roof following recent vandalism.  Work could begin as early as next week, but for those who use the hall regularly can be assured that things will continue as usual and any disruption will be kept to a minimum.  We appreciate your patience while this work is being done.

Samaritan's Purse. This is the Christmas Box Appeal for poor and needy children.  Over 300 shoe boxes containing small gifts and sweets are on their way to Romania from East Leake this year!  A big thank you to all who filled a box. You will make a child very happy this Christmas.

Posada. This tradition started in Mexico to represent the trials Mary and Joseph had trying to find a place at an inn on their journey to Bethlehem. The Mary and Joseph figurines from our church nativity scene, are invited into our own homes for a night during Advent.  Would you like to invite them into your home?  If so, please sign the list at the back of church as it's filling up quickly.
