This Sunday will be the second Sunday after Epiphany and we'll need some volunteers to help take down the Christmas decorations please. There's going to be an official security inspection next week so we need to make sure everything is shipshape, and of course, we take health and safety issues seriously.
|
The church council met earlier this week and you'll see that there are already some dates in the diary, there'll be more social activities in the coming months as we get things organised. Welcome to 2023!

We are entirely self-funded and we have cut back our expenses as much as possible; but we still need a regular income.
|
We're grateful to everyone who continues to support the church and its work, which goes beyond weekly services. In particular, we are thankful for some generous donations over the Christmas period, which have helped reduce our deficit. Thank you!
