New leaders are needed for Junior Church on Sunday morning as Jenny Peet will be leaving us at the end of the summer. We have had some offers of help - thank you - but we still need more volunteers. If you are interested, please see Jenny Peet.

Last year we raised £2350 for Harlington Hospice, our church charity for 2011.
This year's church charity is Healing Gardens.
Healing Gardens offers people with disability or illness living around the Hillingdon area the chance to re-discover or find new enjoyment in life through gardens.
Gardening helps us all escape the confines of the four walls of indoor life, but for the 1 in 10 of us who has a disability, the benefits are much greater. Since 1997 Healing Gardens has improved the lives of hundreds of gardeners with a disability.
Our ‘Garden Squad’ volunteers modify gardens, making them manageable; we provide help and advice, and assist our beneficiaries to get out and meet others who share an interest in gardening. We also work on gardening projects within the community.
Our volunteers also help with outings arranged for our members to local garden centres, RHS Wisley, Kew Gardens etc.
