Parish Church Working Group, Street
We are holding a Churchyard Care Day on Saturday 31st October 10am - 12 Noon. Volunteers welcome for all or part of the time. Even if the Parish Church is not your usual place of worship we would welcome you to join us to help with various tasks to keep the churchyard tidy and manage it in a wildlife friendly way.  We have gardening implements but please bring gardening gloves. You may also wish to bring your own secateurs. Refreshments provided.
 
The Parish/Benefice Safeguarding Team need you!
The Parish Safeguarding team would very much like a representative or even two, to join them from the Mission Church. We work very much as a team and support one another with this important aspect of church life. We meet together when required. It would be useful if you are able to use a computer with some confidence. We always have cake at our meetings if that might sway it for you!! If you would like to discuss what is involved, please contact one of us. You will find our details on the notice boards in the churches.
Jenny, Steve and Pauline PSOs for the Benefice Churches
