New cleaners still needed
Would you like to help keep the church clean and tidy? You would be joining a team of three who clean about once every 4 or 5 weeks on a Friday or Saturday at your convenience. It isn’t terribly arduous and can be very sociable! If you are interested please speak to Janet Masters.
This week’s Eco Tip
In readiness for New Year Resolutions, a reminder that the Environment Agency is encouraging us to save water by adopting simple but effective everyday habits. One such means simply deleting old emails. How come? The vast data centres in which they are stored uses a phenomenal amount of water for cooling.Hilary Rollin, Eco Church Group
