Summer Maintenance Jobs at St Mary’s

In the Rota File in St Mary’s porch there is a list of outdoor maintenance jobs at St Mary’s that would be good to get done during the summer months.
Simply sign up on the sheet for the job you’d like to do and do it in your own time. Thanks in advance.
Choir Vestry Repairs
The Dry Rot repairs in the Choir Vestry will cost in the region of £19,000 to repair. However, add to this roof repairs, plastering, painting and professional fees, the whole project could be in the region of £30,000. Many thanks for the donations and pledges received so far, if you would like to pledge a donation towards this project please let Revd Mike know.

Chester Diocese Website
Chester Diocesan website (chester.anglican.org) is well worth a visit to find out what’s happening around the diocese including news and events.
Online Service Resources
