SAD NEWS

We are sorry to announce that our priest-in-charge Rev David Anderton died suddenly and unexpectedly. Please pray for Emma his wife, Martha his daughter and the rest of David’s family as they deal with this devastating news.


Quiet Prayer

We will be starting to open the church on selected Saturdays for a time of prayer. There will be no formal service but just a time for quiet prayer with perhaps a few prompts around the church. The next will be on Saturday 24th January 10-11am. You don’t have to stay for the whole time unless you want to but we do hope you will appreciate this opportunity to take some time out to enjoy a time of stillness and quiet in the Lord’s presence.

They are nornally held every 4th Saturday of the month.

“Be still, and know that I am God”

Flora & Fauna in our churchyard

As more land is continually lost to house building and transport links the green environment provided by many churchyards has become even more important. In view of this the church of England are partnering with others to record the flora and fauna of this valuable resource. So, on Saturday 5th June we gathered in the churchyard to record all the different species we can find.
