Dear All,
May I wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year.
I hope you have all enjoyed a lovely Christmas as we did, but isn’t it nice to get back to a familiar routine. The Christmas Tree Festival in Church looked wonderful and thank you to the ladies who helped decorate and dismantle the MU tree. I will bring all the decorations to the AGM so you can claim back your badges and decorations.
27 attended the Christmas lunch at the Red Hall in December and this year in lieu of the secret Santa it was suggested you might like to give a voluntary donation to the Children’s Christmas party being provided by the Chesham Food Bank/Kitchen. The unit was very grateful for the total donation £117 and the Children enjoyed a lovely party. Thank you.
Our first meeting of the year will be as usual the AGM on Tuesday 4th February starting at 1.00pm. There will be some vacancies occurring on the committee as members complete their 3 year cycle so please give some thought to becoming a member of the committee. I promise you it isn’t too demanding and new people bring new ideas. Please think about it.
Can I offer a polite reminder that MU subscriptions of £23.50 are now due. If possible please pay by cheque made payable to Bury Parish Church MU.
March will be a busy month and here are a few dates for your diary.
Tues 3rd March meeting will also be a 1.00pm start and we have Joyce Heaton joining us speaking about 18 century Fashions and Customs.
Also in March there is the Women’s World Day of Prayer service at Christ Church, Walmersley on Friday 6th the time has to be confirmed but it’s usually 2.00pm start.
Lady Day 25th March (Wednesday) and if possible can MU members attend the 11.00am service that day.
Mothering Sunday 29th March and as usual Mothers’ Union will provide cakes to be served following the 10.00am service.
A copy of the latest MU Newsletter is on the notice board in Church. I will have other copies at the AGM.
Look forward to seeing you at the AGM

With love and friendship
