Choir

If you would like to sing in our four Part choir then you could offer an invaluable gift of service to the congregation during our corporate worship.

Our choir meets to practise each Thursday evening.

Also, if you play an instrument and would like to play occasionally (or regularly !) do tell us.

Bell Ringing

There is probably no other sound quite as evocative of country village life as church bells. Their tolling is not only a call to worship but evangelistic; a reminder to us all of the Lord Our God, who in our busy world can be forgotten.

Pastoral Care Team

This is voluntary care work in the community. It provides lifts to people without transport for hospital visits etc. Pastoral Care provides a friendly face and help to any in the Parish who are in need. It does not require "Experts" but carers. It works in co-operation with local Social Services care.
