We’re looking forward to seeing as many people as possible at the spring clean on Saturday 16 April.  What better way to spend a Saturday than by turning out in your oldest clothes and with your marigolds on to help us give the church and the hall an in-depth clean!  No experience is needed: just enthusiasm and a willingness to muck in!

We will aim to start at around 9.30 am and finish by 4 pm, but any time you can spare will be greatly appreciated – there will be plenty for everyone to do.  Lunch will be provided, as well as lots of tea, coffee, biscuits etc to keep us going.  We look forward to seeing you!

The Minister will be holding a class for anyone interested in joining the church on a Saturday in either March or April.  If you would like to attend the class, please give your name to the Minister or the church secretary
