CHILDREN'S SOCIETY BOXES I will be gathering up the boxes the first wek or two in January for counting so I can send our contributions for the last two years into the Society. If you are attending either of the churches please can you leave them there for me. If you would like me to collect your box please tel me on 01638669400. Thank you so much for your support over the last few years. Judith McCarty

NOMINATIONS FOR CHARITABLE GIVING Each year the church donates a percentage of its income to three charities decided by members of the church electoral roll. Nominations are sought for this year's donations. Although there are no restrictions on the charities nominated, of the three awards made, at least one has to be a Christian charity and one a local charity.  In order to produce the voting papers to be circulated in March, could you please let me have any nominations by the end of February together with a brief description of what the charity does. Thank you. John Pascall

REPORTS FOR THE ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING I am beginning to compile the paperwork for this year's Annual Parochial Church Meeting. If you run a committee or a group and wish to have a report included please send it to me. Thank you.  John Pascall

HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY (27^th January) There will be no Holocaust Memorial Day event this year in Newmarket. It is suggested that you may wish to engage with an event on-line. One possibility is that arranged by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust  - Registration is at Holocaust Memorial Day Trust | UK Holocaust Memorial Day: 2022 Ceremony (hmd.org.uk)

FOODBANK UPDATE A message from Dr Tony White. Whilst we are well stocked with many things, we do currently have severe shortages of the following items: Long life semi-skimmed milk; Small bags of granulated sugar; Tinned meats (especially easy to prepare such as curries, stews, chilli con carne); Custard (tinned or instant packets); Rice pudding (tinned); Sweet biscuits.

Any help would be gratefully received - at the foodbank or contact me if that is not convenient - I am happy to receive donations at home. I am also aware that it is some time since I updated my contact list - if any changes are needed or if you think I have omitted someone please let me know.
