WE have two events to look forward to this weekend.

Tomorrow, August 1 we have our Book Fair from 10am until noon when we would love you to join us to browse our many books on display, our CDs and DVDs and cards and gifts and enjoy a Saturday morning coffee. And at 7.30pm we are delighted to welcome back the Suzuki School of Music for a concert to celebrate 25 years of their music. They gave a delightful concert last year and I am sure they won’t fail to please this year! Entrance is free, with a retiring collection for our Church Roof Fund. Refreshments will be served after the concert.

For those of you who haven’t heard our wonderful news – we have been awarded £158,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund for our new roof! We are delighted , and hoping the work will commence mid-August. This means we won’t be having many events during the work but do watch this space for an update! We are, however, opening for the day on Saturday, September 12 from 9.30am until 4pm for a Book Fair and for the Ride and Stride, organised by Worcestershire and Dudley Historic Trust. So riders and striders can visit all day and we will have refreshments available.

However, we will maintain our normal pattern of service throughout the roof work so please do join us on Sundays at 11am.
