Getting involved: 3rd May 2026

Activities  

​

​

  

• Our Welcome Conversation on May 16th at 11am will be led by Helen Hinksman, using the beautiful icon of the Retreat Association to reflect on the meeting between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, and the theme of Living Water as we experience it today.  Everyone is very welcome.     You may like to look at:    www.retreats.org.uk/icon

• Sapling Saturday, an informal and friendly working party undertaking maintenance work in the churchyard.  2nd & 4th Saturdays, 9.30 - 11am followed by coffee and cake.  Future dates – 9th and 23rd May.

 

• Churchyard memorial recording project.  Can you volunteer?

Our project to record all the memorials in the churchyard is progressing well, however we’re looking for a volunteer to help with adding the details into an excel spreadsheet.  This will mean that information about our churchyard can be uploaded to a national database which will make the records fully searchable.

If you think you may be able to help with inputting our record sheets to a spreadsheet, or would like to know more about what this involves, we’d love to hear from you.  This is a role that could be shared amongst a couple of people.

Thank you in anticipation Nick Stephenson & Andy Buchan (andybuchan595@gmail.com)
