The church will be open for private prayer on Thursdays between 4 and 5 pm.

Also, Sunday Services will re-commence on 14th March at 8 am and 1015 am

Please use the West Door (up the steps) as work is continuing in the South Porch.

The builders have been getting on with the work on the South Porch. The
thresholds have been replaced,the floor has been levelled and the tiling
is being relaid. A rail has been positioned to help those with mobility
problems. The old inner door, weighing over 180 kilos, has been moved to
the West Porch where it will be hung and kept because of its historic
ironworks.

There will be a service on Ash Wednesday (February 17th) at 7pm using Zoom. There will be an opportunity to ‘ash’ yourself – have some suitable ashes available, Please let Kate know if you want to join and the link will be sent to you.

Immediately following this, we will start studying a book called ‘The Prayers of Jesus’. This will be over 6 weeks and covers some of the known prayers Jesus is recorded as saying. If you want to join this, please let Kate know again, and also if you want a copy of the book, please let Chris Prior know asap. The book costs £7.

If you cannot join us, but want a challenge, there are many other opportunities to study. The book from the Archbishop of Canterbury is very good. There is a York course and many others are available. Look at options on www.eden.co.uk

As most of you will know the church is having a bit of a make over. The South Porch is being re-tiled and having new doors fitted. Work began a couple of weeks ago with our builder, John Howlett. So far the tiles have been removed, as have the thresholds and doors. We are hoping to have the work finished by the end of February. A couple of photos below. Watch this space and we’ll try and keep you updated.
