A lovely David’s Day social afternoon was held at The Bothy at St James North Cray on Tuesday afternoon. The Bothy looked beautiful decorated with bunting and vases of daffodils, and it is an ideal venue for a small party. A huge THANK YOU to all who made the afternoon possible. It was great to see every church in the Bexley Team represented, as well as local residents and friends. A magnificent total of £300 was raised towards the St James Save Our Spire fund. If you would like to donate to this fund, we would be very grateful for cash or cheques made payable to St James North Cray PCC, through Rev Ren.
