Watch BBC tv on Saturday to see a familiar face!

I understand that our very own George Lee has been included and filmed by the BBC for their programme on Saturday to commemorate VJ day. There is a programme scheduled to start at 9.30 in the morning live from the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffs, then another programme later in the day. Apparently the BBC were with him for over 4 hours interviewing and filming in the garden. Well done George, we are very proud of you!

A full risk assessment has been carried out by our church warden and approved by the area dean.

The church has been set up so social distancing is easy, hand sanitiser has been placed in the porch and on the book case, posters reminding people to remember social distancing and to use the hand sanitiser are in place.

Both inner and outdoors will be left propped open.Places where folk should sit are clearly marked.

Service booklets will be on seats already – placed there at least 3 days before the service.

There will be no singing and hymn books will not be in use.T

here will be no refreshments after the service.

Please wear facemasks. If that’s not possible, please contact Shirley Garlick on 230422, to let her know before your arrival.

The church is cleaned at least 3 days before each service.In other words, every possible precaution is being taken.

St Peter’s Church – working party – Saturday 25th July

Message from Shirley, the churchwarden

“Hello everyone,

I am hopeful that the weather will be dry this Saturday, 25th July,  so there will be  a working party from 10 until 12 noon.

There are saplings to be cut back, graves to be tidied in the old church yard, fallen branches to collect up, to name a few of the jobs. 

If you would like to join in that would be brilliant, even if its just for part of the time.  Thank you.  Please bring your own tools and a drink.  Sorry, Covid 19 prevents me from providing drinks.  We still  need to keep to all the social distancing rules.

If you know anyone else that would like to join us please let them know and bring them along.

Cancelled of course if its wet”.
