Hospital Visiting

If you know of someone in hospital who would appreciate a visit from a representative of Holy Rood Church, do please let me know.  We have no way of knowing who is in hospital unless you let us know. It doesn’t matter if they are not regular churchgoers.

Update on Church Toilet & Store Project

As you will be aware we have planning permission for our much needed toilet and store room. The total cost is in the region of £50,000 with around £22,000 already raised. Recent grant applications have brought in another £3,250 and there are further grants for which we are applying. We therefore still need approximately £25,000 in order to be able to go ahead. Part of our strategy will be to launch a general appeal very shortly, contacting every household in the parish inviting donations, but if you have any other ideas please get in touch.
