On Sunday March 6^th we welcome our new vicar, the Revd. Caroline Harrison to our church. There will be time after the service to chat and have a cup of coffee. I am conscious that lambing begins for many of you in the weeks following that Sunday – but perhaps we can also look on it as a chance to pray for good weather.

The parish hall kitchen is going to be refurbished during March, and there are a number of items in good condition, that are available . The cupboards, work surfaces, sink , refrigerator and cooker are all being replaced. The fridge was bought recently.  We are happy for people to have them – although we would appreciate donations to the hall.

If you are interested please contact myself or Delphine (tel: 01588 640233) if you need to have a look at them.

When the new kitchen is completed we shall be arranging events in the hall – so watch this space.

There will be no flower arrangements in the church during Lent, but please feel free to visit the church for a bit of sweeping, dusting and polishing.
