Late Summer magazine: copies are now available at the back of church. This is Claire’s last edition as magazine editor because she has decided to focus on other opportunities at St Laurence’s. If you have articles for the magazine please give them to Clare (note the different spelling!) the church’s administrator. Claire will still be doing the monthly newsletter.
