Open the Book continued

The three new members of our team saw the potential to tell Bible

stories in a fun way but with a serious message. They are all keen
to continue in the New Year and several others have also
expressed interest, so we hope to offer assemblies twice a term to
all the local schools. We are always eager to have more readers,
pray-ers, scene shifters, besides actors. We will be rehearsing on
Friday afternoons 2-3 pm in our hall during January. If you are
interested do come and see what we do. It will make you laugh if
nothing else.

Imagine a sea of faces watching the unfold-
ing of the story of the Storm on the Lake.
Becs opened the doors of St Mary’s Roman
Catholic School to the “Open the Book”
players as we relaunched this important
outreach. I can honestly say I’ve never
before experienced such a well-behaved and
responsive group of students.

Postage Stamps are changing

You still have time to use up all your
old stamps, as Royal Mail has
confirmed they will still be valid for
use until January 31, 2023.

Royal Mail has also confirmed
Special Stamps with pictures on and
Christmas Stamps without a
barcode will continue to be valid beyond the deadline.

If by that time, you still have old stamps you haven’t been able to find a
use for, you will be able to exchange them free of charge for new
stamps using the ‘Swap Out’ scheme.

If you’d like to exchange your stamps sooner, you can get a Swap Out
form via the Post Office.
