An excellent Lent Lunch held in Holy Week raised £275 for Katharine House Hospice; many thanks to all who supported it – 39 people attended. Our Lent Jars of Change Appeal raised £140 for Helen Hodgkins Trust which will help people in Africa with the simple gift of water.

It was good to have the church full on 4th May for the wedding of Timothy Bennett and Imogen Kirwin: we wish them well during their marriage.
