It’s TONIGHT!!

Grab a pint and sing a Christmas carol – don’t let it be a Silent Night! Tell us what you did Last Christmas while we Rock Around the Christmas Tree. We don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing we need – your presence! Join us for a Wonderful Christmas Time!

CHRISTMAS SERVICES
There’s something for all the family!

Warm Coat Scheme
The Wheathampstead Community Group is running from the foyer of the Memorial Hall, starting Monday 4th Dec  and continuing through December and January, depending on supply and demand. Good quality warm coats for men, women and children are available if you need them.If you would like to donate your surplus coats, please drop off at the Memorial Hall. Swapping is not necessary.

The WCG would also like to invite everyone to their Christmas Sing-a-long on Thursday 14th of December at 7:30 in the Memorial Hall.

Thank you for your generous donations towards a Christmas lunch for local families.

We would love for 10-20 members of the St Helen’s family to deliver one or two hampers around Wheathampstead on Sat 23rd Dec – many hands make light work!  Please let Helen (07974 762997) know if you would like to volunteer.
