His family run the charity to finance research into unknown childhood cancers at the John Radcliffe Hospital. Childhood cancers do not respond to treatment in the same way as Adult cancers hence the need for specialist research. The 2014 Christmas Card is now available. Please see the notice board at the back of church, speak to Helen Evans or go to www.williamsfund.co.uk. 96% of the cost of the cards goes directly to research in Oxford, the rest is just printing and envelopes! Please keep Christmas alive and help Williams Fund too. Small packs at reduced prices are available through Helen. Thank you. These are now available either from Helen in the office of from the Welcome Desk at the back of Church. £10 per ticket in advance or £12 on the night : includes nibbles and a glass of wine. See the noticeboard for details on how to obtain tickets. Monday November 10th at Church 8.00pm Following the fire risk assessment carried out (requested by our insurer) we are going to hold a fire safety training session. This is targeted particularly at the following groups of people: Employees of the Church Church Stewards Church Trustees (i.e. the deacons) Premises Team Members All those in these groups are particularly requested to attend if possible, but the evening is also open to any who are interested. The aim of the session is not to make everyone an expert in fire safety, but to raise the general level of awareness of the issues around fire safety. This will be to the benefit of us all should any such incident ever occur.
