Apple Chutney for Open Doors

Pauline is once again making Apple Chutney.  The suggested donation is £2 per jar and all proceeds go to Open Doors.  Please speak to Pauline if you would like some.

Compassion Sponsors

In December we'll have a visiting speaker from Compassion UK who will be coming to celebrate with us the lives we are changing as a church.

Compassion loves to celebrate the real and lasting difference in the lives of the children supporter through our partnerships. At events hosted by our partners, we provide updates on the incredible difference made in children's lives through the partnership. This includes celebrating the number of children being released from poverty in Jesus' name.

If you'd like Compassion UK to link your sponsored child/ren to the partnership with Heathervale Baptist Church, please confirm by sharing your name and postcode.

What we'd love to do is have an accurate total of how many children are sponsored through Heathervale, and so if you are an existing Compassion sponsor, please can you add your name and postcode to Ineke's form which Compassion will then process - and then we can celebrate a full total in December!
