Open Gardens Sunday 24th May 12noon-5pm

Our next Open Gardens and Plant Sale will be on Sunday 24th May. We would be pleased to hear from you if you are willing to open your garden this year. All sizes and types of garden are most welcome as visitors like to see what amateur gardeners can achieve.

Tea & Co.

Tea & Co is now cancelled until further notice. We will update you on news as soon as possible

8am said communion services

The 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.


Defibrillator

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.
