MESSY CHURCH
Messy Church was held on Saturday, 17th January. A very well attended event with a wide age range of children attending. They looked at the story 'Daniel in the Lions Den' and how he put his trust in God. The children discussed their own fears and who and what they can trust. The children built a Lions Den, made Lion and Daniel masks and the older children made courage shields. Songs were sung and to finish the afternoon everyone sat down to tea which included Lion cupcakes.
THE NEXT MESSY CHURCH WILL BE HELD IN THE CHURCH ON SATURDAY, 14TH MARCH - MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW.

Parish Safeguarding Officer:
After many year’s service Elsi Hampton has resigned as our PSO and I would like to thank Elsi for all her hard work and commitment to the role during that time. It does mean in the interim that PSO responsibilities default to Fr Darren as incumbent. If anyone does have any safeguarding concerns please do contact him in the first instance or Helen Wilson our churchwarden. If you think the role of PSO is something you would like to consider please do have a word with Fr Darren who will be happy to provide more information about this important church position.
