CHURCH NEWS MARCH 2019

Hoping you have had the opportunity of meeting our new Minister, Rev Stan Kennon, in church or around the village. Look around the ‘Crier’ for a brief introduction to Stan and his family!

 It was great to see so many gathered in the Williamson hall and at the war memorial on Remembrance Sunday to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First World War Armistice. The Christmas eve service was just as lovely in a different way.

We are very much enjoying being back in the newly plastered and painted church with improved lighting and floor coverings. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to do all the organising, moving and cleaning during the whole process. Thanks also for the use of the Williamson hall and the helpfulness of its committee in making us as comfortable as possible.

We warmly invite you to come to any of the services or activities listed below.
