Repairs to Church Road
Finally…… we can drive the short length of Church Road without falling into a pothole. What a pleasure! Thank you to those who persevered with putting pressure on WSCC to carry out this work.
Summertime at Rymans gardens
The garden will be open on Sunday 22nd June in the afternoon from 2pm to 5pm.
There will be a wonderful, colourful display of roses, as well as other early summer flowers, to admire. The church team will be on hand with refreshments, so enjoy the garden then come up to the church to relax with a cup of tea and home-made cake.

First Wednesdays of the month, The Woolpack 7.30pm
If you are trying to work out what God means in your life, it can feel a bit overwhelming. On the first Wednesday of the month we have an informal group in The Woolpack to explore questions of faith. It’s good for beginners, for people who have believed for a long time but have lots of questions, and for people who just want to grow in their faith. The next meeting is on 4th June.
VE80 A shared moment of celebration – 8th May
A very successful and well attended celebration took place at DQSC, enhanced by the choir and the fabulous band, to commemorate the eighty years since the end of WWII. At 9.30pm the beacon was lit to join those all over the country.
