HELP!
We are desperately in need of a person, or persons, to take on a Tuesday session in the church office. What’s involved you ask? Not a lot! Mainly using the printer to produce the Sunday sheets, answering the phone and dealing with queries from the public, and various small office tasks. It would be very helpful if you had some computer skills to do some work for the monthly magazine but this is not essential. Training will be given if you are interested! Please ring Mary Pryle - 01204 697763 if you can help.

GARYTH'S PIANO CONCERTO
It is with much excitement that we announce the release on CD of Garyth Ingram’s first piano concerto. For some months our very talented organist and musician at St Katharine’s has been in the process of writing this large-scale composition. Now completed, and “orchestrated” using the latest digital techniques, Garyth has very generously offered to donate the proceeds from each CD to St Katharine’s Church. Copies are available in the church office, at £5 each, and all personally signed by the composer. But hurry, the CDs are selling fast!

WINTER WATCH IN BOLTON
As you may know, Winter Watch, the shelter for homeless people in Bolton, has now moved to new premises at The Bridge, Pool Street. Volunteers had been busy decorating and preparing for the opening in January, unfortunately due to a flood and other problems they are now hoping to open in February, There is a list of URGENTLY needed items on the church noticeboard - please help if you can.
We have been able to donate £167 to the project from the Chriustmas Eve collection at church, with thanks to everyone who gave donations.
At St Katharine's we will be collecting items for our usual gift to go to the centre at the end of February, so if you have anything you can give please leave it in the box under the stairs in the church entrance hall. There is a list of items wanted on the church notice-board. Please keep the workers of Urban Outreach Bolton in your prayers as they prepare, once again, to support the homeless and needy through this winter. If you would like to get involved please contact the team on 01204 385848.
