8am Said Communion services
DefibrillatorThe PCC have reviewed these services and due to very low numbers have taken the difficult decision to reduce this to once a month. The 8am services will now be on the second Sunday of every month when the 9.30 service is a family service. The PCC will keep this under review.
The church has leased a defibrillator which has been placed outside of the church hall on the lower level. If anyone would like to contribute to the ongoing running costs for this please contact Michael, Sue or Chris. We would like to thank the ‘Sewing Group’ and Tea & Co. for their donation.

Pastoral Care
As a church we are responsible for the spiritual wellbeing of everyone who lives in our parish. If people are unable to get to church or need a separate pastoral visit we will do everything we can to ensure they receive the support they need. This could include receiving Holy Communion at home. If you know of anyone who needs a visit, please do contact Revd Steve on 07789 692996 and he will arrange for him or someone else on the pastoral visiting team to visit them.
