SUNDAY SCHOOL : Jars of Grace. Beverly will once again be collecting any coins you have to spare for UNICEF. There are more children than ever in our world needing our help and so perhaps you could save some coins in the run up to Easter. Just put them into a jar or bag and bring them along to church by the end of April when I will send them on to UNICEF.

Many thanks for your continued support in this, Beverly.
