Urgent help is needed! If our beautiful Church is to remain open during the day we desperately need volunteers to unlock at 9.30am and then lock up at the end of the day around 4.30pm. If you can volunteer for just one day a week morning or evening it would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately if no one volunteers our church like many others will not be left unlocked during the day, which will be a great shame as we get many visitors. Please call Alison at the Parish Office if you are able to volunteer 01246 412328.

Chattabox is meeting Wednesday Evenings 6.00 till 7.00pm in Church from 15th June. This group runs term time only and anyone aged between 3 to 16 is welcome to come and join in the fun. Call Alison for more information. This week we had a treasure hunt and talked about following Jesus, James led everyone around church blindfolded (the volunteers, not James) showing what it is like to have blind faith in someone and then we tried our hand at macramé and made a key ring with a compass attached.

Our last meeting was 17th June and we had lots of fun talking about being a family, and how everyone is different and God loves each and everyone of us. We finished the session by making a fathers day card, we left one on the notice board at the back of church for you to see.
