Bible readers for Sunday Worship There is a list of available Sundays in the Welcome Area, please sign up if you would like to read in church on a Sunday Morning. Shirley Chase. Thank you to Marilyn Meller for all the work she has done getting readers each week. Toy Service and Clothing Bank Gifts The Salvation Army are coming to the toy service on 3rd Dec. They work with many local families and want unwrapped toys and gifts plus wrapping paper. As a church we have supported the Salvation Army for many years and they are always very grateful. It has also been suggested that it would be lovely to provide a gift for the families who come to the clothing Bank, so if you could provide a toy for that area of outreach it would be great Circuit Prayer Vigil—9th/10th December The circuit are holding a Prayer Vigil over the weekend of 9th/10th December, KMC allocated spots are 7—8pm on Saturday 9th and 4—5 am on Sunday 10th.
