Honduras Charity Concert - raising the roof!

First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who helped with the concert on Saturday - but especially of course to Lorna, who did an amazing job bringing it all together. It was a fantastic evening and wonderful to have so many people from so many different places coming together - and all to help raise money for Manuelito - awesome! :) We are not sure of the exact figure, but we believe we raised around £1500 altogether, which is incredible.

Team member Speaking - Duncan

We have just had Duncan (part of the Honduras Team and founder of Street Kids Direct) speaking about why he wanted to work with and help street kids in Guatamala and Honduras.

We think its really worth hearing, so you can go and listen to him on the St Peter's Church website at: Direct audio (mp3 file)

Monthly Car Wash - Coming up clean!

The next car wash is this Saturday (17th December) from 9.30-11.30am. Please come and bring your car to get clean and raise money at the same time!

Those of us who have taken part have really enjoyed it and it's raising money both for our trip and the Open Church Project, as we've taken over £400 so far, so its really been great to do

Fund Run - final total

Well done to our teams, after getting the money and forms back, we were able to raise £542 before gift aid, which will be split between the Lions club in Maidenhead, for locally supported activities, and OCP and Honduras 2013 trip.

Fund Run - we did it!

We have had a good fun run, with two teams of six running round the track this afternoon. Well done teams, especially with Jason cheering us along.

Our teams' completed 126 laps of the circuit between them, which has been worked out to being just over a half marathon, done in 55 minutes.

Running were: Howard, Christine, Alan, Andy, Sam, Dylan, Lois, Ellie, Evey, Maisy, Jenny, Ben and Beth.

Monthly Car Wash - Come along

From Sat 15th September, we will be running a regular car wash every 3rd Saturday morning of the month at the Memorial Hall. Proceeds will be split 50/50 between the Open Church Project (OCP) and the church trip to Manuelito Children's Home in Honduras in April 2013.

We will also have a produce/cake stall there every month. Volunteers are needed! If you are able to help in any way or would be interested in organising publicity, please speak to Rosalie or Beth
