CHURCH HEATING REPAIRS: Work to install a new heating pipe in the church is due to start on Tuesday. It is hoped it will be completed in two or three days.

Hopefully the church will re-open on Friday. Provided there are no problems the second part of the work – cleaning the system – will be carried out on the following Thursday which means the Eucharistic service will be cancelled.
