Holmbury Church

St Mary's church is making the transition from an oil based heating system to an electric heating system as part of the church of Englands Netzero commitments. We recognise that a very cold church is not only uncomfortable but a risk to some peoples health. As a result we will be having most of our regular services in the church room which we are able to comfortably heat with electric radiators. There are some services we will be heating the church as we have a little oil left in the tanks [but we cannot refill the tanks]. We will be using that for - the Remembrance day service in November then for - the Carol service on December 19th, - Christingle service 4pm on December 24th, - Midnight Christmas service at 11am on 24th December and - the Christmas day service at 10.30am on 25th December The details of the electric heating system are currently being worked out and hopefully we can soon give a rough date when we will have heating every week in the church.
