Dave Takes the RNLI New Years Day Dip
Thank you to everyone who donated to Southend Lifeboat Station as sponsorship for my my taking part in the New Year’s Day Dip. After the event was cancelled last year, I was really pleased to actually do it this year - not least because you had all been so generous! The sea was a balmy 3.2 Celsius and the air temperature a little lower. Getting in just seemed to happen and my 4 minutes in up to my neck passed in a flash. I can’t tell you how cold I was getting out though! Thanks to your generosity, I have raised about £1060 this year to add to last year’s £450.

Twelfth Night Supper
A huge thank you to Wendy and her team who put on a most enjoyable Twelfth Night Supper at the weekend. I have heard excellent reviews!
P.S. The King cake in the middle will be cut this Sunday after church… 11th January 2026
Please Note
Amendment to the poster:
It is the 4th Friday of the month rather than the last Friday
(we forgot about 5 week months)
In the New Year it will follow a regular pattern of the
4th Friday every month
- enjoy!!
Could you be our new Treasurer?
Following the resignation of our current Treasurer, Paul Dyer, we are seeking for a volunteer to take over that role as from the 1st January 2026. If anyone wishes to know more about what is involved, or volunteer, please speak to Rev Dave. Paul has very kindly agreed to continue until the year end to enable a smooth handover, and he is due a huge thank you for his work over the past few months.
At present the role covers the church accounts as well as the church hall, but it is hoped to separate the two for next year, and the role might also be split if need be.
