Vacancy for Church Warden With Tony Solway leaving soon we will be losing a churchwarden. Is this a role that you might consider? To get an idea of the role, here’s a video that might encourage you: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=Z3XwQW9exKE . There’s also a course here: https://www.equiphub.org.uk/courses-events-and-resources/introduction-to-being-a-churchwarden/ Feel free to talk with Phil Hemsley or Revd. Philip Morton if you want to know more.
Good news - significant energy savings from the heat pumps In December 2024, the heat pumps needed 1280kWh energy to heat the church. In December 2023 the Drugasar heaters needed 11870kWh energy, all from fossil fuel. The heat pumps therefore saved 90% of the energy used, and all of the CO2 emissions! Many thanks to all those who supported and helped with this project.

Our Vision
We desire to be a vibrant and inclusive Christian community, inspired by God, to worship and reach out to nurture, heal and serve. Worship: to make our lives ones of worship, both corporately and individually. Reach Out: to reach out. Archbishop Justin said, ‘The church is not a rest home for the saints but a lifeboat for the world’ Nurture: to accept where people, the community and our world are at present, and to encourage growth and development in a loving and supportive way. Heal: to heal the damage done to our environment, to heal difficult relationships, to pray for physical, emotional and mental healing, to heal struggling relationships with God. Serve: to serve by both practical action and prayer. Serving not only what God has given us (the world and all it contains) but also God himself; by proclaiming His word, making new disciples and loving one another as He loves us
Our Values
We believe that all should be welcome, encouraged and supported. We believe that faith should be developed within the Church and shared in our wider community. We believe that we should show tolerance, understanding and compassionate support to each other We believe that we should work as a team, supporting each other so that we can better serve others. We believe in a God-centred life based on the precepts of the Bible and upheld by prayer. We believe that worship should be God-centred, accessible, joyful, stimulating and relevant.
