DBC Building Fund
The church building
We meet in it every Sunday and throughout the week for services and many other activities, but unfortunately DBC's present church building is coming to the end of its useful life; it is also, praise God, getting too small! The time was ripe for the Building Project. In order to raise funds for the new building we will be organising many events over the next few years, and we'd love you to join us!
Fundraising activities
So far there have been two extremely enjoyable Murder Mystery Nights, a Beetle Drive, three Quiz Nights, a Popcorn & Candyfloss Party, an Art & Craft Fair, a successful 100-Days-Without-Chocolate challenge, a sponsored walk/run/ride/pram-push around Draycote Water, two Hardanger embroidery workshops, a Jukebox concert, a Remembrance event, two curry evenings, an Arabic food event, a Cream Tea, Shisha embroidery workshops, Christmas Craft Fairs, a Previously Loved Sale, freestyle embroidery workshops, Christmas embroidery workshops, a Chaplain's cruise with tea & cake, Virtual Reality games and goldwork embroidery.
If you'd like to join in future events check here what's going on, and don't forget to have a look at our ongoing activities for some lovely gift ideas!

Hand-crocheted toys/mascots and loveys/blankies made to order, prices £7.50-£12
Animals, mermaids, security blankets, even fruit – there seem to be no boundaries to what Linda can crochet. Great gifts for babies and toddlers to cuddle, or as decorative items for those who have outgrown the toddler stage (but you can still cuddle them when no-one is looking.) Patterns by One & Two Company.

Personalised key-rings from £1.50
These make a delightful and personal gift. Each one is transparent and can feature any name or message you wish, but do bear in mind that the more characters (letters & spaces) you want, the smaller they will be.
There is a full-colour overview of available designs, and it may also be possible by special request to add your own picture for a small extra charge (provided, of course, that the picture doesn't infringe copyright law).
From previous experience, these key-rings will sell very easily to family and friends so, if you wish to, you can make a good contribution to the DBC Building Fund by offering them for sale.
