This show is being advertised early as tickets for it are available online and are selling and there are limitations on the number of tickets available because of the catering involved. Sue has some tickets at the back of the Church so let her or me know if you would like to attend even if you pay for the tickets later
The Christmas wishes tree at the back of the Church over the Christmas period has raised £300 for the Salvation Army.

We are very grateful to Jennie Jones for her efforts in organising this appeal.

Ongoing Notices
It is our intention to carry on
using 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.
Our Minister,Tim has been elected to be
Moderator of General Assembly of the URC for the year commencing July 2024.
This is a great accolade for him, and we extend our heartiest congratulations.
