Christmas 2011

Outline Plans for this years celebration are posted at the foot of this page.

We are suggesting the following options if you wish to send greetings to others at Battle Baptist Church.  

1. Write a single card to the entire fellowship or congregation and deliver it to the Church Office *. We will then place them on the display board in the Manna House / Chapel Foyer. This will make a lovely colourful display of greetings sent to us all from the fellowship. As a result of the savings you will make by not buying so many Christmas cards, you may choose to give an extra few pounds to our Christmas offerings this year!

 2. Cards for individuals in the church should have forename and surname clearly written on the envelope. You can then put them in the appropriate white metal alphabetical trays in the Manna house / Chapel foyer *. We will encourage you all to look in these trays, and we will arrange for volunteers to regularly sort and collate cards. Please avoid posting a bundle of cards through the church letterbox and expecting someone to sort them out for you!!!

* or place the card in the box at Claverham if you attend the 10.30am congregation.
