TOUR DE HALLAM CHALLENGE:
Between 2nd and 6th June this year, Ruth Sheldon, Director of St. Wilfrid’s Centre has taken up the challenge to cycle the diocese visiting as many parishes as possible to give a talk about the centre and to ask for donations. While she is doing this attendees at the centre will match her miles on an exercise bike in the centre. The aim is to raise funds to help towards the running costs of the centre. Knitters are asked to knit a few rows of yellow and black wool that Ruth will collect on her visits and which will be tied to a frame to make a bee to add to the centre’s cascade of flowers for everyone to see.
LIVE SIMPLY FEBRUARY: There will be a collection of pre-loved clothes in good condition in church during February. All the clothes will be taken to the Clothing Bank who provide free clothes parcels for people in need. See the information on the leaflet in church
