Munch with Music - February 2025
The next Munch with Music will be held in the church on 5th February 2025 featuring Christopher Sayles on piano.
You are invited to bring your own ‘Munch’.
Admission is free, donations are welcome.
Coffee, tea and biscuits from 12:15pm, with the performance starting at 12:45pm and lasting about 45 minutes.
The following Munch will be on 5th March 2025, with Musicians from Trinity Laban.
Works on the hall
Work will be starting Monday 20 January to improve the Church Hall.
A new path suitable for wheelchairs, buggies and those who hate the steps, is being put in from Church Walk to the front door.
Inside the toilets will be reconfigured. The Gents will become a toilet for the disabled, and the Ladies changed to 2 Unisex toilets one opening into the lobby and the other into the area where the coat hooks currently are.
There will always be one toilet available during the works and this will be the one in the Gents to start with. The works will take at least 3 weeks to complete.

Pigeon holes, pigeon post
Before email, before Whatsapp, before whatever, communication relied on letters and cards and pigeon holes. At this time of year, there's a revival at the church pigeon holes with Christmas cards waiting to be picked up!
The pigeon holes can be found on the north wall, to the right of the font. Best to check above and below the initial that starts your surname, and above and below the initial that starts your Christian name (forename).
Hopefully this will avoid any disappointment
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and God Bless!
