You can also contribute by taking envelopes for family, neighbours and friends (just bring them back, with the Gift Aid declaration completed if appropriate, to any of our churches during May). We’re also holding a plant and bake sale at Isleham Social Centre at the Tuesday coffee morning this week and after church next Sunday – any contributions of plants or baked items gratefully received! Just contact Amy Bridgeman or Jenny Gage (07515 732687) if you need help in transporting items to Isleham. Millions of people who have less than £1 a day need us to make a difference for them.

Fordham Day Centre Is looking for volunteers to help at the weekly meeting for senior members of our community. If you would like to help then please talk to Judith Wood, Doreen Rule or Mike. Fairtrade There is a new Fair Trade catalogue, TRAIDCRAFT, for the Spring and Summer 2012. Please do take a copy and give your orders to Lydia at Fordham as soon as possible (tel: 01353 665943). Baptisms There have been many baptisms in our churches these past few months. It is so good to welcome the newly baptised into our churches. We are trying to maintain a balance between baptism as a major part of the main service on a Sunday and giving space for families to gather at other times either on Saturdays or Sundays. Thanks too to our Baptism Visitors who are making such a difference in welcoming and helping at baptisms. Thefts from our churches Both Kennett and now Chippenham have had substantial amounts of lead stolen from their roofs. A section of Fordham’s lightning conductor was also taken, making the building unsafe and unprotected. Do please keep an eye out for any illegal behaviour around our churches and report it speedily both to the Police and to Churchwardens. Vigilance is essential these days I am afraid. Book Swap at Chippenham Book Swap would like to thank their supporters. A cheque for £50 has been sent to the Arthur Rank Hospice. A chance to swap books and chat at Chippenham Village Hall, come and join us and bring your unwanted books. Paperbacks – 25p. Hardbacks 40p. Refreshments – 50p. Everyone is welcome. Regular Giving envelopes if you would like Regular Giving envelope please see Robert savage. If you are UK tax payer we can reclaim tax if you complete a Gift Aid form (also available from Robert).
