Angels with Dusters
WE would like to pay tribute to Mrs Mary Edge and Mrs June
Wolfenden who initiated church cleaning nineteen years ago.
Week after week they generously gave their time to look after the interior of our village church. Today there is a small rota of dedicated helpers. It would be lovely if some more people would like to join them. All it takes is a couple of hours in congenial company every six weeks or so.
ST MARY’S GIFT DAY
For a small village Swaffham Prior has some very generous residents. It’s good to know that the church’s place in our community is as valued as it is. The Parochial Church Council would like to extend thanks to all who contributed in the recent Gift Day. It is very grateful. £2177 was raised with a couple of envelopes still promised. The church costs approximately £60 per day to run which is a considerable expense, even without the periodic wear-and-tear repairs that every household dreads from time to time. A bill for repairs to the boiler is due shortly. Your gifts mean that it can be paid without too heavy a heart. Thank you.
