You may recall that we
supported the Baby Basics appeal in the summer months, with donations for newly-born
babies and their mothers. We have recently made another delivery of items to
Baby Basics from the congregation and the wider church family for which they
are very grateful. The homeware store Dunelm have chosen Baby Basics as one of their
Christmas Charities and if you would like to know more about this please speak
with Fiona Legdon.
Our service next Sunday will
be at the usual time of 10.00 am and will be led by Tim.

Baby Basics Liverpool
Each year at Allerton URC we have had a tremendous response when collecting for Food Banks. This year the church asked for your support in donating to this organisation - Baby Basics a Liverpool is a volunteer-powered baby bank supporting infants and parents experiencing hardship.
The members responded very well and we were able to make two huge deliveries to them in early Summer and again following our Harvest Festival.
Needless to say, Baby Basics were very grateful, so thanks are due to all who collected and donated to this very worthwhile cause.
Should you wish to make further individual donations, you may wish tosee the following:-

Ongoing Notices
We like to use the computer, projector and screen for our services here at Allerton.
There is quite a bit of preparation that goes into having hymns and readings on
the screen and we would like to spread the workload as best we can. If you or a
member of your family are familiar with Microsoft PowerPoint and can spare a couple of hours once a month to assist with the setting up of a PowerPoint
presentation, we would like to hear from you. Please speak to Ruth Winterburn
or Charles Lasham.
