There may be some disruption to this site over the next few days while it moves to a new server. I hope that the transition will be seamless but, as it probably will not be, please be forewarned.

With luck, when the site returns it will be bigger and better than ever.

As you start to think about your Christmas shopping, why not have a look at the church’s online shop?

Every purchase from one of the many major retailers made through the shop raises money for Building Together.

Retailers include Amazon, M&S, Carphone Warehouse, Comet, Early Learning Centre, John Lewis and Teleflorist.

We are pleased to report that, since May, we have raised almost £9 000 which brings the fund-raising total (excluding Gift Aid) to £84 590.87. The final count for Mike Atkinson’s talk was £82. We have received £14.40 from the buy.at/fulwood online shop and the sponsorship money from the Ladies After Eight Coast-to-Coast Walk has, so far, raised £4 117.49!

The Plant Sale would not have been a success without Mavis, Len, Joan, Morag, Thelma, Edna, Ray, Jan and Kay, all of whom we thank for their efforts.

We hope to be able to publish these articles in a future edition of NftP. For now you may read them online.

There have been a couple of occasions recently where doors to the Church buildings have been left unlocked overnight. We all know how difficult it is to make sure that the buildings are secure, but if you are the last one off the premises, please spare that little bit of extra time to make sure the building is secure and all lights are turned off.

Also, please make sure you’ve picked up everything that is yours. Money was recently left in the Hall. “Sneak thieves” have enjoyed our hospitality before and we don’t want that to happen again!

Coast to Coast Walk

In my haste to get the report of the walk to Luke, I omitted three people who also fulfilled vital rôles in the endeavour. Len Fletcher drove up to Osmotherley at the crack of dawn to transport us back to Ingleby Cross and later in the day carried some of us to Great Broughton before returning home. Thelma Williams and Susan Parkinson were our support on the penultimate day, taking us to Lockton Youth Hostel and in to Pickering to purchase the fish and chips and then returned on the last day to take us back to the car park. They were there at
