MOVIE NIGHT “Fiddler on the Roof” “Tevye is a poor milkman in tsarist Russia where he provides for five unmarried daughters and a sharp-tongued wife. Faced with mounting financial strain and growing ani-Semitism, Tevye strives – like a fiddler on a roof – to maintain balance despite the precarious nature of his situation.” The film won three Oscars. Given that this film is longer in length (172 minutes), we will commence the showing at 5.45pm. The church will be open at 5pm. Bring your tea (in paper or in a box) and enjoy this wonderful film. Saturday 28^th May – 5.45pm.  Irene 332 7306.

Fireside meetings on a different day.  In the current situation with Covid, Fireside welcomes women to come to informal meetings for friendship.  Because people have been finding that having meetings on Wednesdays is difficult we are going to try meeting on the second Monday afternoon of each month. This will be from 1.30pm at church.  The first of these is planned for Monday 9th May.  We look forward to catching up with each other.  Enquiries: Margaret 366 8936
