Home Communion for the sick and housebound

Members of the Pastoral Team, which consists of the clergy, Lay Pastoral Assistants and Readers, are able to take communion to the sick and housebound.  This usually takes place after the Communion Service in church on a Wednesday.  If you or anyone you know is unable to come to any of the services, either in Holy Rood, Knowlewood Knap or Hyde Place please let me know, and I will arrange for you to receive communion at home.

Hospital Visiting

If you know of someone in hospital who would appreciate a visit from a representative of Holy Rood Church, (normally Rhona, Judy or one of our Lay Pastoral Assistants) 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.

Church Maintenance 

There are many small ongoing jobs in the church and the churchyard that need to be done on a regular basis. If you feel you could help in any way or you would like to know more details please contact one of the Churchwardens.
