Thank you everyone!

Thank you to everyone for your support! We raised a splendid £600 at the Harvest Supper and £426 at Patrick Bennett's concert. This means that so far this year you have helped raise £4736 to repair our lovely church building so that it will be here for future generations.

Thank you!

A big thank you to everyone who supported the Harvest Thanksgiving and Harvest Supper yesterday. An especially massive thank you to the catering team who did a fantastic job with the supper, as always. We raised £180 for Water Aid. The final amount raised for the Church Repair Fund will be confirmed when it's all been added up!

Not long now!
