Dear Parishoner

Organ Restoration Appeal
As you may know, our organ URGENTLY needs restoration to replace the entire electrical switching and control systems within the main body of the organ. Sadly, it is a shadow of its former self as approx. 40% of the instrument is out of action now.
We are raising funds to install a new organ console before the old one gives up completely. The organ is at the forefront of worship in the Church and as such deserves to be in the best condition that it can.
Please can you help by pledging some money.
If you would like to make a donation by cash or cheque, please contact Lynne Sherriffs on 07908 701109
We thank you for your support!

Update
Jack-in-the-Box
Sadly, while we are in vacancy, a decision has been made to stop our fortnightly Jack-in-the-Box meetings until a replacement Rector is appointed. Please accept our apologies.
Usually, our toddler church for pre-school children and their carers ran fortnightly during term time
on Monday afternoons from 2-3pm in the Wilkinson Hall.
The afternoon generally consisted of a short story, song, and simple craft, plus toys and a chance to chat over a cuppa.
