Help required

Paul and Sandra would like a bit of help with cleaning the church on Monday mornings 9.00 to 10.30. After the work in the chancel there is some very fine dust around the woodwork and it needs a fine brush and some patience - lovely as the carvings are they do attract the dust. Nothing heavy; you can even sit down if necessary. Ring (01983) 638198 if can spare some time.

Weekly bulletin

Information about what is happening in the diocese can be found in the weekly bulletin at www.portsmouth.anglican.org/ebulletin/

Church Road closed 25 May – 31 July; Pitts Lane closed 31 July – 9 October (As of September 7th, Church Road was open as far as the track to the west that forms the coast path. Beyond that, there is a trench by the hedge as the junction with Pitts Lane is approached and a fenced hole in the middle of the junction with Pitts Lane and Ladies Walk! Getting past this hole to the area of car parking by the church is possible with care.)
