Water into wine
Wine Donation Request
We’re running a water into wine stall at the Lydford and Barton Carnivasl in July to promote the churches and are looking for donations of bottles of wine for our fundraising activities.
If you’d be happy to donate a bottle, we’d be very grateful for your support.
Lydford donations can be given to Ralph Berry, Barton donations can be given to Jo Oubridge. You can contact Jo via email: wheathillbenefice@gmail.com or on her mobile 07731 862797
Vicar on a Bike and Keinton Mandeville Reordering
Keinton PCC has for several years discussed making the building more accessible and versatile, removing the trip hazard of the pew platforms and making space for wheelchairs, push chairs and for us to do things differently. We intend to keep four pews which will be able to move, and to have chairs for most of the congregation. Some of the chairs will have arms.
There are currently six chairs in Keinton church, please do sit on them, and note your preferred chairs (first, second and third choice) on the yellow sheet stuck on the vestry door.
To raise some funds for this Jane Durham is planning to cycle 275km this summer. She is going to visit 15 of the 17 other St Mary Magdalene Churches across the diocese over five days. Her first day will be Tuesday 21 July. She would love people to sponsor her, and to encourage others to do so too.
There are several different ways that you can do this:
Fill in a sponsor form and either give cash or use the giving gizmo to pay. Please make sure that you only use Keinton or Kingweston’s gizmos and that Jane Durham or Debbie von Bergen know that you’ve paid and how you paid.
Fill in a sponsor form and write a cheque to Keinton Mandeville with Kingweston PCC.
Fill in a sponsor form and use the bank details to pay by BACS, with the reference Bike.
Use the Just Giving QR code (but feel free to reduce the amount Just Giving suggest you give them). You can just search for Vicar on a Bike on Just Giving.
There will be posters and ‘luggage label’ type give aways to give people that will give access to the Just Giving page.
Details of the bike rides will come in due time.
Thank you for your support.
