Notices
Tuesday Morning Coffee and Cake
Tuesday morning’s Coffee and Cake sessions are in the Thomas Field Hall – Tuesdays from 10:30am to 12:00 noon. Any enquiries to Hilary Catchpole at h.catchpole@btinternet.com .
Christian Aid Week
14th – 20th May is Christian Aid Week. Your gifts in 2023 will help farmers in countries such as Malawi plant better seeds, secure a fairer price for their crops and build happier futures for their children. Last year we raised over £950 and we are hoping to exceed this figure in 2023. We will be raising funds through our Strawberry Cream Tea on Saturday 20th May from 3pm-5pm in the Thomas Field Hall, collections in the church on 14th and 21st May and, for those who wish to donate online, through Little Gaddesden’s e-envelope:https://envelope.christianaid.org.uk/littlegaddesdenchurch.
Open Garden for Charity
Garden Open for NGS. David and Jilly Scriven are opening their garden for the National Gardens Scheme on Sunday 4th June, 11am – 6pm. Adults £5, children free. Plant sales and teas available. Gaddesden House, Nettleden Road, Little Gaddesden, HP4 1PP. Plenty of off-road parking.
