The Sunday School would like to thank all those who have shown an interest in and given donations to them over the year and wish everyone a Happy New Year
Surafel Thanks to all who have donated to Surafel, our sponsored child in Ethiopia. The latest letter from him is on the notice board along with a copy of his School Report. Without your support he would not be able to attend school or receive the Christmas gift we have sent. The calendar for next year is in the hall, anyone wishing to donate please add their name to it and give money to any Sunday school teacher.
