CHURCH SPRUCE UP DAY!
Friday 18th September 10am – 3pm

This is when we do all those jobs that aren’t covered by the regular weekly church cleaning. We give the once over to notice boards and cupboards and check through the drawers of despair! Plenty of sitting down jobs available.

Soup, rolls and refreshments provided. Please sign up on the list at the back of church to ensure we don’t run out of soup or biscuits!

You could have one of these on your own mantlepiece!

These beautiful crosses have been made by our very talented Tim Elliot. He has very kindly donated them to the church to sell to contribute to church funds. They range in price from £20 to £8 depending on size. They are available to view or purchase at the back of church.

This Sunday we will be celebrating Harvest Festival.
In keeping with our usual practice as part of our parish Harvest thanksgiving, we will again be donating our gifts to DASH – Durham Action on Single Housing – a non profit making organisation which developed from the Cyrenian Shelter in Durham (dashorg.co.uk).
The Charity supports single homeless local people of all ages with food and emergency accommodation, and then they are helped to progress through different types of supported accommodation to eventually achieving independent living.
The Charity is always extremely grateful for the goods donated by St.Brandon’s, which they then make up into packs for new and existing residents.
The following items are particularly welcome:
* Any items which have a long shelf life and can be kept until needed: such as most tinned goods - particularly meat, tuna, soup, baked beans, tomatoes, and tinned fruit - long life milk, boxes of cereals, tea, coffee, sugar, rice and pasta.
* Toiletries such as shampoo, soap, toilet rolls, and toothpaste
* any treats such as jams, biscuits, cakes and sweets
* Fresh items of fruit and vegetables can also be used for demonstrating to the residents how to cook soups and stews, so the produce used for decoration of the church, and from the Garden Club Annual show, are very welcome. These meals are often shared in a communal lunch for those residents housed in the DASH accommodation in Churchill Square.
Thank you
