Can you join the small band of committed volunteers who meet regularly to clean the Church? Spare an hour or so to help make the task go quicker. Please think about it as a small act of service to the Church. The next cleaning day is Saturday February 15th. The team meet at 9am and share out the tasks to be completed. Nothing too arduous, Helen can match you with a broom a vacuum or polish and a duster according to your ability. Sweep an aisle, polish a pew or vacuum a piece of carpet. If you can do one of these little tasks it is a job the nobody else has to do that day. Sharing the workload really does make the workload just that bit lighter.

<b>Car Parking at weekends.</b> There are unfortunately some long standing members of the congregation who through illness or disability now can not attend worship as they might wish because they are unable to park in the small church car park. We have an agreement with the Woodland House Group who run the children’s nursery on Church Lane that we may use their large car park and it is only a short walk up to the church. Please be considerate when thinking of parking at the top of the hill, are you perhaps using a space when you could easily walk a few extra meters? There may be days when the Woodlands car park might not be available to us if they have a special event, but generally the nursery is open Monday to Friday.
