You can call 101 to report a crime that has already happened, ask for crime prevention advice or give the police information. In an emergency always call 999. All calls to 101 cost just 15p, even from a mobile and no matter how long it lasts for. one number for emergencies and one for non-emergency situations.

NOTICE BOARD
Well Wishers Today we will be launching our Well Wishers charitable giving in Church for the Well. Listen to the difference you can make to the future of the project! Wakefield Cathedral Share Scheme The cathedral is launching a share scheme for everyone to buy a share in the Cathedrals future helping to restore and revitalise it. Shares cost 250, if you purchase two or more shares then you can have a name engraved in the stone in the Cathedral precincts. See Don for more details. Personalised Promise Bible Dawn feels she has lent this book to someone and she would welcome its return (No fines from the prison librarian, honest :o)) Christmas Card We will once again be supporting Wakefield Hospice by suggesting that instead of sending individual Christmas cards everyone signs the large Wakefield Hospice Christmas card and then puts a donation equivalent to that which you would have paid for the cards you have not bought for the Hospice in the box provided. The card will go on display on the notice board at the beginning of December.

The chocolate tree decorations have arrived, there is a sheet on the welcome desk showing how many you ordered and how much you owe, would everyone please collect their decorations and pay into the church office.
