Churchyard Working Parties at St Giles and St John’s

Our next churchyard working parties are now in the diary, and all are very welcome to come along and help.

The first will take place at St Giles’ Church, Coldwaltham on Thursday, 20 June, from 10.00am to 12.00 noon.

The second will be held at St John’s Church, Bury on Thursday, 11 July, from 10.00am to 12.00 noon.

This is a wonderful opportunity to help care for our churchyards, enjoy some time outdoors, and share in a bit of village fellowship. Don’t waste your money joining a gym — come and work out with us instead!

Refreshments will be provided.

Please bring any useful tools you may have, such as wheelbarrows, secateurs, gloves, trowels, scrapers, rakes, strimmers or hedge cutters.

Organist is wanted!

Our regular organist of many years, Maggie Weaver, will be retiring this August. Huge thanks are due to her for her commitment to us.

We are now beginning the process of recruiting a new organist. An advert will also be placed on the Diocesan website, but if you know anyone who might be interested in the position, please do let either Canon Martin or one of the Churchwardens know.
