Spring
Fayre and Daffodil Tea
April, 2011
Blessed with a fine, warm
spring day today's fayre and tea proved to be an immense
success. With some ten stalls raising in excess of
£700 for the
church and with a buffet table laden with freshly made sandwiches,
savouries and cakes visitors were able to sit down at well
prepared tables and enjoy a most relaxing, enjoyable tea.

Fr.
and Mrs.Vaizey's 'At Home'
May 2011
Fr.
and Mrs. Vaizey kindly ran an 'At Home' on Saturday, 7th
May, 2011 to raise money for St. Mark's School Building
fund in Kibi, Ghana. Despite the first rain for many a day
and a wet afternoon over £1000 was raised from afternoon
teas, a raflle, tombola, bring and buy and a cake stall.
Many simple, but sincere, thanks to all who so ably supported
the event.

The
Ordination of Deacons
Durham Cathedral
Sunday 3rd July, 2011
Today
a number of parishioners attended the service at Durham
Cathedral for five young men who were to be ordained to
the Diaconate, among them Grant Naylor who has become the
curate of the parish. After the morning service in the cathedral
Fr. Naylor then participated in his first service at St.
Helens in the evening and attended a welcome given in his
honour in the Parish Centre where he was able to meet not
only those who had attended the cathedral service but others
who had been uable to do so.

£1400– not that much short of what a Summer
Fayre would have raised

St.
Nicholas' Fayre
Sunday 4th. December 2011
Despite the miserable,
wet, dismal day the fayre in the Parish Centre was extremely
successful and admirably supported by parishioners and
friends alike. With some twenty or so colourful, attractive
stalls ringing the hall and
with a seating area for tea and refreshments there was
a lively buzz of camaradarie and good-fellowship among
all who were there. Perhaps all of this was just as important
as the amount of money raised which was in excess of £2700.

Coffee
Morning in aid of Kibi schools, Ghana
On Saturday 28th. January, 2012 Fr. and Mrs. Vaizey kindly
held a Coffee Morning at their home in
Bishop
Auckland to raise money to be added to that which they
had made last May and which is being sent to Kibi in Ghana
with Fr. McTeer when he next visits the area. In total,
in excess of £1600 was raised so Fr. and Mrs. Vaizey,
and all who helped to make the events so successful, are
most
deserving of our thanks
