Christmas Fair: will be held in Teach and tSolais on the 15thDecember from 10.30am to 2.30pm.
We are appealing to all bakers, Jam and chutneys makers. There is also a demand for knitware and crochet items. If you make Christmas decorations we would be delighted to have them too.
We need children’s toys, games and books.
Have you got anything for our Bric-a-brac stall, ornaments, pictures, unwanted gifts or new electrical items that you will not use? We would be so happy to get them.
Don’t forget to ask your local shops for a contribution as we need to make up hampers, so we would be delighted with bottles of wine, spirits edible treats etc.
Vouchers would also be so welcome for the Silent Auction.
Please remember to sell your Raffle tickets and return to Mona once they are sold.
The main hall in the parish centre will be open from 4pm on the Friday inorder that goods can be dropped in for sorting and pricing.
Any items for Bric a Brac etc can be dropped to the church after the services on Sunday and Wednesday.

Thought,
Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who rekindled this light in us.' ~
