students from Pengwern College in Rhuddlan (The students are a mixed group – late teens / early 20s with learning difficulties who, supervised by staff from the College, are using this opportunity as work experience and an opportunity to gain confidence in the hope that it will help them make the move into the world of work. After many years working in this sector of education I know how useful our help will be so I hope that our relationship will continue and grow really make a difference to the youngsters lives. Finances - (always on the back of our minds) The Hiring of Paterson Hall and other space in Horeb This is a major source of income which, although there has been an upsurge in recent weeks, has still to return to a pre-Covid level – and with the increase in fuel costs it is increasingly difficult to balance what hirers can afford to pay and what we need to charge to cover our costs - let alone gain some 'income'. BUT - if anyone needs to hire some space for a club or event The Paterson Hall is still available for Hiring for several hours during the week. Indeed, if anyone reading has a need or knows anyone who wishes to Hire a space, they should contact Barbara Tebbutt on 01745 570793 or me on 01745 570364. Aware that we, in many ways, are battling for the survival of Horeb, the Elders and Members, remain determined to continue to work hard and to do our best to keep Horeb Chapel alive and well. Finally, as usual, you know where we are, you know we will be open for worship at 10.30 a.m. every Sunday, and if you are thinking about joining us for worship one Sunday, you will be very welcome. So, I'll sign off wishing all the best as we move toward Christmas and promising myself that I’ll do something about the Village Quiz and try to make the next update more interesting and less a re-hash of what has gone before Allan Morgan (Horeb Elder)
