We have now held 5 Songs of Praise services and they have all been very successful. The June Service saw us present our long serving churchwarden - Brian - with a journalling Bible and cash to buy a lovely wooden reclining chair for him to relax in now that he doesn't have the worry of faculties and the like! Brian is staying on our PCC and is actively involved in church activities so it is not goodbye! Thank you Brian for your long service. The songs of praise service was followed by cheese and wine which went down so well that we have decided to make this a permanent addition to the service. We have a varied programme of music from traditional hymns played by the organ to more modern worship songs some played by our own music group and some by MP4.Why not come along to the next one and see for yourself. The services are held on the 5th Sunday of the month so about 4 times a year. Usually at 6pm but the December one will be at 9.30am.Hope to see you soon.
The first Soup and Social was held on October 3rd and was a great success. Hot soup and bread was served in the church and it was a great chance to chat and enjoy a social occasion. The next one is Tuesday 7th November from 12 - 2pm. Everyone is welcome. The church is lovely and warm and the soup is delicious. See you there!Soup and Social is held every month on the second Tuesday.
We have been running cafe church now for 5 months and it has been gradually evolving. A great opportunity for people to come together, enjoy a cup of tea/coffee/squash and delicious pastries. We can sing, pray, talk,discuss and create all in the comfort of our lovely village church.The Church is set up as a cafe so everyone is seated around tables which adds to the informality of the occasion. Everyone is welcome whatever their ages as there is something for everyone.The service is every 1st Sunday of the month.
Our second Songs of Praise took place on 29th October where we were treated to a varied programme of hymns and worship songs played on the organ, the music group and an MP4 track. The hymns were chosen by members of the congregation who were able to introduce the reason why they had made their choice. It is always interesting to hear the stories behind the choices. Some of them were quite interesting. Our next Songs of Praise will be held at 10am on New Years Eve - 31st December. If you wish to make a request, please send it in by email and we will do our best to include it in the programme.We intend on holding Songs of Praise every time there is a 5th Sunday in the month which is about 4 times a year. Watch this space.
