• Piety Shop: Before you buy your Christmas cards, gifts, and wrapping paper, stop!... and take a look in the Piety Shop. There is a wide range of all these Christmas goods in the shop, and your purchases will help to support the church, reducing our debt. St Peter's deluxe Christmas puddings and brandy butter (both as supplied to Harrod's) have built up a good reputation over the years and have travelled around the globe. Buy now while stocks last.
• Radio Warneford - Warwick Hospital: The hospital radio is run by volunteers, on evenings and weekends, for all patients in the hospital. Patients are visited on the wards by our teams and after a chat, if so wished, a request can be made for a favourite piece of music. This will then be played on the hospital radio-channel 5 that same evening/day and can be heard by the patients on their individual headphones. An alternative is to phone in advance if you have a date for going into hospital or have a relative ring with your request, whilst you are in. The number given below will be available on answerphone between 5-6 pm every evening. Please make calls brief giving: a name, home area, a ward number and the request. I will then ring these requests into hospital to the relevant team each evening. - Ann Reilly, 428714.
