Dear friends
Thanks to those who came to the gardening day and helped in some way; there’s a story about it HERE. We are so grateful for the way you look after the place that is used and appreciated by so many. We have new benches too! We are so grateful for the way you give your knowledge or skills or precious time or all three! This is something we need to do a few times a year and anyone is welcome, even if you don’t know what you are doing, there is gardening guidance available from fellow members!
For those of you who would like to give a gift to a father or in memory of a father for Father’s Day, why not have a look at some options here from MAF Fuel for Father’s Day – Mission Aviation Fellowship
