Please Help to Save St John's Kates Hill
Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 8:44 am
This is such a worthwhile cause helping to preserve St John's Church, I know many of us have ancestors buried there:-
Ask around your friends and family and collect used printer ink cartridges, unwanted mobile telephones, loose change, bits of gold jewellery even if broken
We always need tombola prizes especially bottles, cosmetics and toiletries, biscuits and chocolates, packets of sweets, stationery, gift sets and unwanted gifts. Also clothing, shoes, linens, handbags, soft toys, bric a brac, books and toys.
Organise a fundraising event for us eg a coffee morning, bring and buy, garage sale or anything sponsored.
Recommend us as a cause worthy of support to groups, friends, associations or clubs
Volunteer some of your time
Make regular donations to St John's Church Preservation Group and please do remember us in your will but ensure that the legacy is to St John's Church PRESERVATION GROUP.
Purchase a copy of the 'Tales From A Churchyard, St John's, Kates Hill, Dudley' by Chris Smith available from us on mail order at £8.99 or in person through SJCPG at £7.50. All proceeds from the book go towards Saving St John's Church.
GET IN TOUCH WITH US
