Fairground Organ Saturday 19 December
Once again, we have booked the fairground organ and are organising a street collection, for the Saturday before Christmas.

Next, we are looking to the rest of the congregation for help as Collectors on the day: Can you put aside an hour or two? Please sign the list, which will be at the back of Church.
Don’t worry if you can’t collect on the day, as (due to popular demand) we are re-introducing the “Organ Avoidance” scheme. You will be able to give one hour’s pay instead - Use the yellow Gift Aid envelopes. All monies raised will go to All Saints’ funds.
