Notice Sheet begining;
Christ Church Missions Group – ‘Refreshing’ our Champions
Having supported a range of missions for 3 years, it is now time to review our giving as a church and to receive applications for new Champions and missions.
Missions supported should:
- be recognisably Christian
- preferably have a clear identifiable project which we can learn about and follow
- have an identifiable Mission Partner whom we can support in prayer and with whom we can liaise
- be engaged in a relationship with those they are trying to help
- be a continuing project
This is your opportunity to nominate a mission with which you are involved and would be prepared to act as Champion for the next 3 years.
If you would like to apply please contact Anne Sturton by calling 020 8395 2382 or via annesturton@blueyonder.co.uk for a short application form. Closing date for applications is Sunday 21 February.

Chernobyl Children Life Line – hosts and supports needed
Could you welcome two Belarusian children into your home and invite them to share in your life for two weeks this summer? The children come to the UK for a four-week recuperative break from the after-effects of the Chernobyl disaster. A four-week break from radiation, eating nourishing food and breathing clean air, is believed to improve their health significantly, by giving their immune systems a chance to recover. We are looking for volunteers living within easy reach of Epsom and Ashtead to act as hosts, or to support a host, for two weeks between 16th July and 13th August. Outings and activities are organised for the children, and their hosts and supports can join in with many of these if they wish. To find out more, come to an information evening at 8pm on Wednesday 10th February at St Giles’ Church hall, Dene Road, Ashtead, and visit www.midsurreylink.org or call 01372 741 228. We would love to hear from you.
Help urgently
needed…
…”When I first helped with the church cleaning, there
was a different team of about FIVE people each week. Now there are just ONE
or TWO people each time! Not all the cleaning is done at 9.30 on a Friday.
Two ladies always do theirs on a Saturday morning, while a gentleman usually
cleans a bit later on a Thursday. Exercise is good for you! Hoovering and
sweeping the church is much cheaper than going to the gym and not nearly as
unpleasant as jogging in driving rain. If you think you may be able to help,
please leave a note in my pigeon hole or ring 723301. Patience
Jam jars and knitting wool…
…Avril Shipton would like empty jars with lids to fill with home-made jam to
raise funds for CBC University of Life, also wool to make Teddies for
Tragedies – these are sent out in bulk to disaster areas all over the world.
Please bring on a Sunday, or Avril (812175) will collect. Thank you
Publicity...
...Our new Publicity Officer, Denise Chamberlain, would like to hear about
your Christ Church/CCWells stories and events. She would also like to hear
from people who would be willing to help with posters and notice boards, so
please call 727240 or email her at pauldchamberlain@btinternet.com
