The Ecumenical Lenten study this year is based on the Oscar and BAFTA winning movie, "The King's Speech". The course, called ‘Finding a Voice’, explores ways in which, like Colin Firth’s Bertie, we too can face and overcome our terrors to find our true and authentic voice, especially important in proclaiming the Gospel. We we watched the film all the way on Monday 4 March and this is the fourth study sessions each Monday through to 8th April. Each session starts at 7.30pm in the Parish Church and finishes around 9.00pm, followed by refreshments. For further information, talk to Alan Taylor.

We have occasional work days in the church. The next is scheduled for today starting at 9.00am and finishing late afternoon – more or less when the jobs are done!
Volunteers are always needed, so if you would like to help out, perhaps with a particular skill set, please talk to Martin Rogers. Painting is always a favourite, though we do other work such as tidying up the grounds, washing down window frames, pruning shrubs, putting up noticeboards, etc etc. You don’t have to come all day, or even start at 9.00am, but we would love to have a few more volunteers! Thank you.
