Many thanks to Chris and Mike for the lunch last Wednesday, the soups were fantastic!

You may, or may not have noticed, that over the past month, the Church Hall has had a lick of paint (on the lower walls and skirting) and the floor has been polished. This has been done by a small band of people from our own congregation and has made a huge difference, many thanks to them for doing this.

Thanks to those who have volunteered to clean at St Mary’s, however, we need some more people to join in. It can be done at any time the church is free, towards the end of the week preferred. There is a cleaning kit and vacuums available and a key safe so as you can clean at a time that suits you. For safety, please do it in pairs.
