NOTICES – 26 OCTOBER, 2014 New - As some of you may know Penny Smith is currently undergoing chemotherapy. She and Kate would very much appreciate the occasional meal, (nothing spicy or exotic please!) left on her doorstep, preferably in a freezable container. So next time you cook a stew, cottage pie or similar, perhaps you could make a couple of extra portions. For more details speak to the clergy or 'phone Mel Le Vesconte 07775 637606.

A working group is looking at options for repair or replacement and is reporting back to the Consultative Group. We may well need to fundraise for a replacement system and further information will be given as soon as we know more. In the meantime and as an emergency measure, additional electric heaters have been purchased. These will be sited mainly on the North side of the church (the partition side), so you may like to bear this in mind when choosing where to sit during the colder months. Volunteers: Thank you to all who serve St Mary's and our local community in ways too numerous to mention. If you are not yet involved, or would like to try doing something different, please read the leaflet explaining how you can play your part and sign up on the board at the back of church.
