With effect from the first Sunday in January 2024, Sue Waterston will be leading this service on the first Sunday of each month. You are very welcome to join us for this informal service, and have a cup of coffee afterwards.

There will be no 9:30 am service on Sunday, but we would like to extend a welcome to everyone to come along to our Harvest Festival service at 5 pm. As a rural community, it is good to celebrate Harvest Festival – to give thanks for all that is produced and to acknowledge all the hard work during the year by our local farmers. We welcome your flowers in the church and gifts of tins and dry food for the Carpenter’s Arms. This year, the service will be led by Sue Waterston.

After the service, the congregation will be invited to stay for a glass of wine and canapés. As usual, the Collection at our Harvest Festival service will be for our Charity of the Year, which this year is Pasic whose aim is to support families in the East Midlands through a childhood cancer diagnosis. As you may know, little Gabriel Johnson at Cedars Farm is undergoing treatment for Leukaemia at QMC and Pasic have been there for Gabriel and his family since he was diagnosed last year.

It is good to meet together, and each week we have enjoyed hearing the bells being rung before the services – so, many thanks to Shirley Barnett and her team of volunteer ringers. We are now meeting in the Chancel, which is much easier to heat! We are serving coffee & biscuits after our services, giving us the opportunity to chat! All are welcome to join us.
