St Stephen’s are supporting Canterbury Food Bank and there is a yellow bin in the porch where you can leave donations. Please have a look at the Canterbury Food Bank website for more information, including a ‘shopping list’ of what donations are needed.
Over recent times you may have noticed more and more strange noises coming from the organ — notes sticking or playing when they should not, and some which are not playing at all (not always Steve playing the wrong notes!). Our organ will be 50 years old next year, and like any piece of mechanical or electrical equipment is in need of an overhaul and modernisation. There is a meeting to which anyone with an interest in the music of our parish is invited this coming Friday at 7 p.m. to explain the proposed works, with the opportunity to ask questions. At the end of the meeting the PCC will decide how to proceed. We look forward to seeing many of you there.
10.45 on Wednesday 18 September. Charity event in aid of the Fifth Trust.
Volunteer needed. The gates are in urgent need of refurbishment before the coming winter. They need cleaning, sanding, and coating with a preservative. All materials will be provided. Please contact Brian Kennett if you can help.
