* Working Party Day – A cleaning /maintenance working party day is being planned for the 11 July. Such occasions are both invaluable and good fun. There will be tasks for all categories of skill and none and it is hoped that as many as possible will come along to do whatever is within their abilities. Even if you are very limited there is plenty of scope for supporting the others and keeping them refreshed. -the gender and age of helpers is not important! A sign up sheet is in the Oasis, please volunteer to help. If you would like more information please speak to Birgit (or email: birgitschoeniger@hotmail.com, call: 07736 235 322 )
27th & 28th/June: There will be a plant sale at the Scout HQ in Northwood Way, Northwood on Saturday from 2pm to 6pm; and Sunday from 10am to 4pm, but we reserve the right to close early if the weather is poor! It will be in support of Northwood Live at Home and the local Explorer Scouts with The profits split equally between them. It’s always a very good event, with quality plants donated from a local nursery as well as private contributions, all sold at far below commercial prices.
28th/June: Christians from across Northwood and Northwood Hills are invited to gather at St. Edmund’s for a special ‘Songs of Praise’ with a twist! A joyful and relaxed occasion, we’ll share good hymns, celebrate our faith and enjoy one another’s company. Singing starts at 5.30pm, with refreshments served before, after and during. All are very welcome.
