Paper Newsletters
This newsletter has been published and funded at least 10 times a year by our local churches for many decades, and nearly 800 are delivered free of charge by our great team of volunteers to practically every home in Wilden, Colmworth and Ravensden with copies left in all 5 of our churches, schools and other places. Much has changed in recent years with the advent of websites, email, and social media, so that many now receive this in electronic form and it is always available to read on our Website. So, with not just the costs of paper and ink, but aware of not being wasteful of this world’s finite resources, from January 2023 we intend to reduce greatly the number of paper copies delivered individually to homes. Since the Parishes of Keysoe and Bolnhurst joined our family of Churches nearly 4 years ago, we have never delivered this to every house in these Villages, but many there receive this electronically as do others in neighbouring Villages and those who have moved away and maintain links with us.
Join up electronically by emailing newsletterwcr@btinternet.com to give us permission to send the church newsletter to you. But we do want to continue to deliver paper copies to all who wish to continue to receive it in this way. So please over the next couple of months speak to your friendly deliverer and let them know whether or not you wish to continue to receive this newsletter by hard paper copy, as we hope most people will be happy to receive it by email or read it on our website and follow our Facebook pages.
