Please consider ...

WARNING! - With the scaffolding up, maintenance work will be carried out over the summer on the roof, gutters and windows.  This could take up to 24 weeks.  No access should be impeded but please take care when outside, especially during the week when people will be carrying out work.

Are you free on Friday 9th August at 7.30pm?  There is a concert in the Chapel, being run by people who have not rented the building before, so it would be valuable to have someone from chapel present.  Please contact Doreen if you can help.  

We are in great need of more stewards in our Church.  If you feel that God is leading you to be a steward please talk to Ralph or Doreen for more details.

Please make sure all rubbish is put into black bin bags before going in the bin, or the bins will not be emptied.

Fire and Security - Thank you to all those who have offered to be trained and help with the fire alarm checks.  We still need a volunteer who is prepared to take overall responsibility for the checks - required weekly.  This is an urgent situation, please see Doreen for details.

We are short of hosts for the Saturday coffee mornings in August.  Please see Doreen if you feel you can help.

Calling all the cooks who have been so good in recent months at providing food for the social events here at Chapel.  It would be good for more involved to complete a food hygiene training course.  This is available online for £16., the fees for which can be reimbursed from church funds - please give your receipt and bank details to Lisa.  Please see Doreen if you'd like to complete the training.

A big thank you!

A huge thank you to Mavis for preparing the communion every month.  However, we now need someone to take over this duty, as she no longer feels able to continue.  Is this something you could do?  Please see Doreen.

Our beautiful building plays host to many music performances throughout the year.  

One of the groups with a regular programme of concerts is Chapel Street Music.  Please visit their website for further details: https://chapelstreetmusic.co.uk/
