Kosova Kafe

Kosova Kafe will open again in the autumn, the first date being on Friday Septem-ber 23rd. As before the Kafe will be open between 5.30 and 6.30 Drop in any time in that hour for a 2 course evening meal and treat yourself to a break from the cooking and the washing up!! We ask for a minimum donation of £3.50 and the money raised will be used to buy items to fill shoeboxes to be sent out to Kosova and other Balkan countries via SMILE. By raising money in this way we, as a Church, will be able to support SMILE in all the charity does in supporting needy children whilst still providing shoeboxes for Samaritans Purse as we have done in the past. The sign up sheet (booking is essential please) for your meal will appear on the notice board in the middle of August so look out for it. The main course on this occasion will be corned beef pie. A full menu will be included on the sign up sheet and there will be a vegetarian option.

QUIZ NIGHT Saturday 21st May

Starting at 7 p.m., in church. Liz Kent is our quizmaster so we know we’ll have an evening of brain teasers!! Come along and enjoy the fun. Light re-freshments will be provided. Tickets £3 from Sue Whitehead

Guest Speaker

For the evening of the 8th May our guest speaker will be Phil Dobson. Phil works with Aquilaway, a Christian homeless charity in Gateshead. We donated to Aquila from our tithe fund last year and many of you will want to hear some-thing about the work. Everyone is welcome; you may want to invite friends who have a particular interest in this area. Tea and coffee will be served after the service. Any questions please see Kay Z

Creations

The next Creations is on Friday 13th May when we would like to do some can-dle making. The idea we have is to pour the melted wax into a tea cup. This style of candle has been seen in Laura Ashley for around £14-99. We are now asking if anyone has any tea cups and saucers they no longer want. Could you please put them in the box in the vestibule. We would be very grateful for any donations. Any ladies who would like to come along to Creations and do this candle making are welcome to bring a favourite cup and saucer or any cups and saucers they have kept and no longer need. Thank you in advance for your help. Claire Morland.

Summer trip to the Cricket!

I am currently organising a trip to the cricket in Chester le Street on Sunday 12th June at 2:30pm to see Durham vs. Derbyshire. If we can get a group of 10 or more going we can get a dramatic reduction on the ticket price. It would be £9 for adults and £3 for children. Please let Mark Milburn know if you would like to purchase a ticket
