Amen.

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.
