Cornerstones has faded away!

It began in 1965 as Young Wives but changed its name to allow all Christian ladies to join.

It started by helping to organize rotas for: Church flower arranging; cleaning specific areas of the church weekly; Women’s World Day of Prayer on the first Friday in March; holding the Hrvest Lunch for Senior citizens in October and the carol singing round the village. Church kneelers was a project and 94 have been made by many parishioners.

The cost of the Harvest Lunch has been met from funds and the majority of the food was home made. The Poors Land Trust has kindly contributed to these funds as has the Parish Council. We would like to donate our funds to whoever takes on the Harvest Lunch.

I would like to thank Margaret Gordon for looking after our accounts.

A big THANK YOU to everyone for making the recent Progressive Supper such a great success – the hosts who opened their homes and provided stylish settings in which to entertain their guests, the helpers both behind the scenes and at the Village Hall as well as to all the guests – the ‘regulars’ and the newcomers who all contributed to such an enjoyable evening.

The evening raised well over £700 towards the upkeep of the Church.

You are cordially invited to a Progressive Supper on Saturday 19th September at 19:00.

An enjoyable way to meet old friends, or if you are new to the Village a great way to meet new ones. Profits go towards the upkeep of the Church, but the evening is open to all. Vegetarians/food allergies catered for if advised when booking.

We are still looking for a couple more hosts who can seat 6 or more for the starter and main course. All food is pre-prepared and just needs heating/serving.
