We had a fantastic Lent get together on Friday at Moreton. 35 people from the village and the wider benefice came for coffee, cake and the chance to get to know people better. We also talked about ‘holy habits’ that help us draw nearer to God. Further lent groups will be as follows: Friday 6th March 11am Jubilee Room, Adbaston Friday 13th March 11am Norbury Village Hall Friday 20th March 11am Woodseaves Village Hall Friday 27th March 11am The Vestry at Gnosall.
We need to raise funds for structural repairs to our Grade I Listed Church, including the main roof, tower, and the approach wall of the Churchyard boundary.Our initial target to carry out the first stage of work is £25,000.The Church of England does not provide money for the upkeep of Churches, that burden falls on the community in the Parish. Therefore, we would be grateful for any donations, large or small, to help meet this target.In addition, if you/ or someone you know can help us obtain Grants or Sponsorship for Restoration, this would be a huge help.Any donations given as part of this appeal, will be placed in a ‘Restricted Fund’ to be used for building work.Donations can be made either by: bank transfer– NORBURY PCC, sort code 54-10-36, Account 08607540 (reference: ‘RESTORE’). Cheques payable to Norbury PCC.Or through our JustGiving page: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/norburychurch.If any donations can include Gift Aid that would be an added benefit.Please contact -Jane Swinnerton (Churchwarden)Tel: 01785 284463E: j_swinnerton29@hotmail.com for further details.
