Services

Dear fellow Parishioners,

December will be a busy month in your church, and we hope that you will be able to join us for some services.

You will be relieved to learn that we have purchased new microphones which have made the sound quality in church very much better. On public health grounds we will continue to keep the church well ventilated before and during all services, so it will be important for you to dress warmly when you come to church. We look forward to seeing you in the course of the month.

Christopher Rees, Bede Northcote Churchwardens
