You can put your donation in an envelope with names of your loved ones on the plate any Sunday or into the Parish Office before the Wednesday 14th December.

Update September 2022
Hello to all our Members! It’s been quite a while since we’ve been able to share news with you but finally, our churches are once again back in ‘full swing’, celebrating services, baptisms, weddings and others, including Confirmation. We would like to thank our members who have helped us out during the pandemic. ‘Usual Service’ has resumed and our flower list is getting back to normal. We are now looking for new members to join our team. The Chancel Guild is wonderful in that the skills of our senior members are constantly passed down to our new members, continuing the long tradition of proudly decorating our churches to enhance our worship. If this is something that would interest you, please come along on Saturday 1st October at 10.00am. We will be happy to answer any questions and show you what we do. No experience is necessary, just enthusiasm!
