Kneelers - A new idea of making a framed collage from the fine embroidery on the redundant kneelers, it needs removing carefully and then assembling with the vibrant and best of them to be framed & hung in the church, We need capable sewers to help with this project of unpicking!

Churchyard mowers - Unfortunately, we have had to replace one of the mowers and the ‘ride-on’ is in need of some major refurbishment in order to keep it going. As a church we only have limited resources and the Church Yard fund has all but run out as recent expenditure ran into several hundred pounds. Helping with the maintenance cost does ensure that the churchyard is a pleasant place to come to when visiting the graves of loved ones. If anyone would like to give a donation or set up a small standing order it would be gratefully received - Thank you. Posted: 16.09.2021 |

Churchyard Maintenance - We really need some additional help in the Churchyard – We are very grateful to everyone who works diligently in the churchyard. It is greatly appreciated by us and the local community but we really could do with more help as our current workforce isn’t getting any younger or healthier. Even if it’s for the odd hour it all makes a difference. If anyone in the church family or local community is willing to lend a hand do speak to Freddy (Tel: 07791 731021) as to what is required – thank you. Posted: 11.10.2021 |

Church Cleaning Unfortunately due to the fallout from the pandemic our faithful band of church cleaners has been seriously depleted. At the moment there’s only Marie and Val who come in twice monthly. We are very grateful for all their efforts but we really could do with a few additional volunteers. Posted: 11.10.2021 |

And - Post Service Tea/Coffee Volunteers - We could really do with some help with post service tea/coffee rather than operating on an ad-hoc basis. A team of two appears to work very well so if there’s any budding duets willing to lend a hand do speak to Revd Chris or leave a message on the church answerphone – 01825 891090 - Thank you.

Web site for St Thomas a Becket- Our church website has now been running for over fifteen years. This third redesign, mainly to adapt to the ever increasing number of users on phones and tablets and their smaller screens, went live on 16th August 2020. The site aims to be a useful resource to church members, and also to reach out to potential new members. We hope you will take a look and find it useful. We try very hard to keep it up to date and relevant. Any questions, comments or suggestions, email us here Posted: 16.08.2020 |
