Wet and cold outside, but inside the church, the noise is wonderful! 🎶

Our Rector, church wardens and office holders are undertaking an Emergency Aid course today. We pray they never need to use the newly learnt skills, but if they do, they now have the knowledge to help those in need.

The curate had to put the bins out…another tick in his training folder.

Don’t tell his wife though, she’ll expect it done at the curatage!
