CONTACT DETAILS Do we have your contact details? It is over a year since our big exercise to obtain everyone’s contact details to ensure we were in compliance with GDPR. We are aware that new faces have joined our church family since then and we don’t have their details. If this is you, we would really appreciate your contact details and invite you to fill in a form that the church wardens have by the church door as you leave today or pick one up from the back of the church.

TOYS FOR WELCARE AT CHRISTMAS There will be no toy distribution for Welcare in Bromley this year due to staff shortages. However, they will be collecting vouchers to distribute to those that they work with. The One4All voucher (available from the Post Office and other outlets) is a good choice for those that wish to donate. Please leave voucher or cash to be converted to vouchers in Parish Office.
