In order to keep those who are interested in touch we have set up a emailing list so that we can remind people of events and let them know if there is anything special going on. We did not take email addresses from members of the congregation on the day, but it will be helpful if you could complete the list at the back of the church, or email us if you would like to be included on this list.

NEXT EVENT
Sunday 24th February
Times: Between 10.30am and 12.30pm
Place: In the church hall (behind the church)
Our current charity is The Red Box Project.
The Red Box Project in Watford is our next Sales Table charity
The first project was set up in March 2017 in Portsmouth and the movement has spread rapidly nationwide as schools welcome the response to the problem of girls missing out on their education because their families struggle financially and cannot afford to provide sanitary products. Red boxes in schools are kept stocked by the Red Box volunteers and improved attendances have been reported as a result. The local project is working with partners such as the police, local councillors and Watford Community Housing.
Please support young people's education by visiting the Sales Table!
Our next event will be on 24th February. We were able to send £150 to the Watford Talking Newspaper recently from the Sales Table proceeds. Your generosity is appreciated! John and Marilyn
