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.
