Visiting preacher

On Sunday 28th July, the Revd Mark Heather will be preaching at the 10am service. He is the Bishop of Guildford's Domestic Chaplain, a post he took up in 2010. Before that, Mark spent seven years as the vicar of St Mark's, Halton in Leeds.

 Sunday School

Jude has decided to step down from leading the Sunday School at the end of July. Therefore, we will need some one else to take on this important role. We have a great bunch of children, so it will be a lot of fun. Also, the church has a subscription to a website which provides most of the ideas and suggestions, so preparing and leading should be much easier than you might think. If you are interested in taking this on (or sharing the role with someone else), please see David or Jude as soon as possible.

‘Mow’ volunteers needed

A rota is being developed to cover the cutting of the church grass – round the Church Centre & the war memorial.  During the growing season it needs cutting once per week.  There is a good Honda self-driven mower which starts first time and it takes about 1 hour to cut the grass.
 
If you are able to volunteer please contact Stan Oakes at the 10am service.
