St John’s held their 2016 Christmas Fair on Saturday 19th November.
The church was packed with people, looking for bargains amongst the books and toys, choosing a special piece of jewellery, or taking the opportunity to buy crafts and homemade jams, preserves and cakes. The eye-catching Christmas stall had some beautiful decorations for the tree. There was also a lucky dip and face painting for the children. The tombola stall was very popular and there was a raffle for a beautifully iced Christmas cake as well as the main raffle. Afterwards, people relaxed with a cup of tea or coffee, provided by the Caversham Community Cafe. We also welcomed the 22nd Scout Group Reading, who were raising money for the “A Million Hands” project.
The Fair raised over £1400 for church funds, a substantial increase on last year’s result. Thanks go to everyone who made it such a great success.
