We have been hard at it successfully raising money in the benefice.

Christmas Tree Festival 

The Christmas Tree festival raised over £1,200 this weekend. The Knitters and Natterers and the Youth Fellowship also raised £169 through the sale of handmade Christmas Decorations for our hostel project at Makeni Ecumenical Centre in Zambia. Thank you to all who helped organise this event and to those who attended. Pictures of the festival will be posted shortly.

St Edmund's Feast Day

 A big thank you to everyone who helped with the concert on Saturday especially Edward. Your contributions were greatly appreciated and enjoyed by the audience. We were delighted with a profit of over £500 in aid of the organ fund.

PwH Parish would like to thank Barclaycard for their generous match-funding of the Harvest Quiz. A cheque for £900 was recently received, which brings the total profit of the Harvest Quiz to £1637, a magnificent total! Thank you also to everyone who supported this event
