Running the Church
We’re holding our Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) on Tuesday 21 May at 7pm in the church. Meryl Doney is standing down as Church Warden so we’re looking for a new recruit. If you’re on the Church Electoral Roll you can vote on matters at the APCM.
Choral treat
On Saturday 25 May at 7.30pm, enjoy an evening of uplifting choral music entitled ‘Where’er You Walk’ with Voxcetera Chamber Choir. The concert will open with a celebration of sacred music spanning 400 years. The second half features secular songs on a theme of journeys and travel, including arrangements of folk and pop as well as the beautifully haunting “The Long Road” by Latvian composer Ēriks Ešenvalds.
