For those new to the village, this is because our vicar has to take a service in each of the four parishes in the benefice on this day. Details of services are always displayed in the church porch, at the entrance to the churchyard and in the box in front of the Reading Room, as well as in the Parish Newsletter. A new service sheet, detailing services over the Christmas period and up to the end of February, is now available in the church and in the usual places. Please go in an collect one.
