The Trevelyan Window Appeal

The Coffee Morning which launched the window appeal on Saturday 10th November raised a remarkable £1,332 - a truly magnificent result and a HUGE THANK YOU to all who supported this event in so many ways - those who came and sponsored a "piece of stained glass", the cake and raffle prize providers and the coffee "team".

The total cost of the restoration is £5,000 and we plan to continue fund raising to help achieve this goal,

There are plenty of pieces of glass available to sponsor .........................................so

If you would like to sponsor a further piece of stained glass or purchase a limited edition card of the window, please call Dave Ellis on 01736 711248.

MANY THANKS

THE CHURCH CLOCK

The Church Clock mechanism relies on 3 weights being wound each week from the botton to the top of the tower - this task in recent times has been dilegently done by a Team of Clock Winders -  Martin Holland, Des Astin, David Somers, Jonathan Green, Christopher Ball, Rob Braybrooks, David Sharp and Michael Ball.

Now thanks to a very generous gift from Meg and Ivan (Pinfield) and DAC "Faculty"  approval an  automatic winding system has been installed.  A plaque marking this generous act has been prepared and following the required Faculty approval will be displayed within the Church.

The photographs show the mechanism of the clock which remains the same and the 3 special motors that automatically wind the weights. The installation was by The Cumbria Clock Company who have been responsible for the maintainance and servicing of the clock for many years. Luke, was the young engineer responsible for the installation and commissioning of the new mechanism.

Good News Gang's News

 

 

The Good News Gang met on Thursday. We're a Young People's Christian group (ages 5 - 16yrs) that meets once a month to prepare art, drama, music and craft for the Family Services.

 

This meeting we made origami houses (see picture) and read Mark 13 1-9 about building our lives on solid foundations and not getting too overawed by worldly things. We prayed for Aiyana (who is to be baptised at the Family Service on 18 November) and her family and sang some of the songs we'll have at the service.

Next GNG will be on Thurs 6th December 5:15 - 6:30pm.

 Hope to see you there.

Ship - Wreck Party

Sharks ready to race

On Thurs 6 Sep the Good News Gang had their Ship-Wreck Party and BBQ on the beach. The tide and weather were perfect and we built our 'Robinson Crusoe' style raft in the sand. There were lots of games - Shark Racing, Treasure Hunt, Cannibal Rounders, and Message in a Bottle. We finished off with Burgers and Hot Dogs as the sun went down.
