The Annual Church meeting was held on Sunday 11th October.
Clive Pendrell and Gena Richards were elected as Churchwardens. Details and papers for the meeting are on the PCC Reports page.
Services are now held in church on Sundays at 10 am. The church is open for private prayer each Tuesday and Friday between 2.30 and 4.30 pm, provided a volunteer is available to steward (the calendar will show if it is open). The church remains closed at other times.
Online services are continuing and can be found on the Worship on the Web page or the Dial a Service phone line (01902 906585).
The Worship on the Web service can be viewed online from 10 am each Sunday. It will also be shown in church at 10 am for those who wish to join together with others in a service which has Worship on the Web at its heart. For those who wish to stay there will be a very short communion service afterwards on some occasions.
The Vicar is continuing to offer daily prayer from the Vicarage which is streamed live on Facebook. Find these on Worship on the Web.

Following Christ in the footsteps of St Chad,
by living out our faith;
taking the church to the community;
and growing the church.
