This Week’s Notices

Thursday House Group

We will not be meeting on Thursday 23rd January but will be back together again on Thursday 30th.

Knaphill Community Fridge

Did you know Knaphill has a Community Fridge?  This very successful project is run by Holy Trinity with the aim of preventing unwanted food going into landfill.  Collections are made from local food retailers and brought to Holy Trinity in Chobham Road where anyone can help themselves.  It is available to all – this is not a food bank but a project to reduce our impact on the environment to.  You can also donate any unwanted, in date, food (maybe you overstocked for a party for before a holiday).  The fridge itself is open Monday to Friday from 830am to 4.00pm (but the best choice of goods is to be found early in the day).

Jules Hopkins, who set up this project, is giving a talk about the work to the Silver Stars group on Monday 27th January at 1.30pm and Holy Trinity have extended an invitation to us through Church 4 Knaphill.  Silver Stars is a regular group for ‘folk of the third age’. Why not pop along and find out more?  (£1 donation to cover refreshments and speaker’s expenses).

The gremlins crept into the birthday dates published in the church magazine.  Please note these corrected dates for February

Safeguarding Training

We’d like to take a crowd to the Safeguarding Training being held at New Life Church, Woking on February 29^th. All involved with young people, or who undertake 1:1 pastoral care for the elderly, as well the deacons should attend this course. The morning is for everybody, the afternoon for those in positions of responsibility – those leading groups, or the deacons.  The church will pay the course fee. Please confirm your attendance to Eric or Sohan. If 29^th Feb doesn’t work for you – there are other courses below, but all are rather further away!
