Our Christ­mas Mar­ket — Sat­urday 13 Decem­ber 

Our Christ­mas Mar­ket pre­par­a­tion meet­ing last Sunday was well atten­ded; the War­dens and Andy are grate­ful to all those who con­trib­uted ideas and help.

If you are a per­son who neither makes nor bakes any­thing for the Christ­mas Mar­ket, you may like to con­sider mak­ing a dona­tion towards the cost of ingredi­ents.

The cost of mak­ing Christ­mas cakes is sig­ni­fic­antly high­er than ordin­ary cakes.  A large cake can cost around $25–28 and add $14 if it is iced with mar­zipan and fond­ant.  The cost of chick­en we all know about — we prob­ably buy some weekly.  Rachel will be cook­ing but­ter chick­en to sell and will take pre-orders closer to the date.

So, if you can donate any­thing at all, our cooks will be very grate­ful — and it will be shared accord­ingly.  Please place in an envel­ope in the offer­tory, ref­er­enced “cook­ing costs Christ­mas cakes” or “cook­ing cost chick­en“.

Thank you one and all!
