Could you help to stock the FSW foodbank ?
FSW will continue to distribute non-perishable food to known families. Currently gifts are collected from church on the second Wednesday of each month. Please drop your offerings into the box as near to that day as possible. We also welcome gift vouchers or financial donations that can be directed at supporting the families most in need and as usual, items can be left in the baskets either in Church or the Eight Bells. For more information check the FSW website or contact Clairegeorge@bolney.plus.com 
 
Plastic milk bottle tops - Chestnut Tree House Childrens Hospice 
Please continue to save your plastic milk bottle tops (supermarket only) as they cannot be recycled in your wheelie bin.

Please help by being vigilant
. . .  when passing the church and contact either churchwarden if you are suspicious of any untoward activity.
 
Legacies 
Once having made provision for your loved ones, please consider leaving a legacy in your will to our beautiful church.
