Full church!
The new benefice services have proven to be a great success, with around 100 people, including children, at the services so far.
The next benefice service is on Pentecost (Sunday 11th May) at 10.30 at Wiveton. Don’t miss out!
Continuing the theme of full churches, many thanks to all who helped to make our Easter services such a success. We were able to welcome over 700 people to our benefice services on Easter morning.
If you have not been attending church for a while, come along and see what is happening.
Developing Cley church
Following the open meeting on Sunday 13th April, it was agreed that Cley church should be developed to enhance its use both as a place of worship and as an amenity for the community. This would involve:
1. Installing toilets – at least 2, possibly 3 or 4
2. Creating a kitchen and food preparation area
3. Following from above, finding a way of separating areas of human activity from that of bats, perhaps by creating a hibernaculum outside, or partly inside, the building; the intention is to work with the ‘bat lobby’ to achieve this
4. Installing more effective heating and lighting
5. Improving access to the building in all weathers, better handrails etc
6. Creating a screened-off area, perhaps in the west porch, for small meetings, children’s activities etc
Please let Neil know if you have any views on this, or if you are able to help in any way. The first phase of the repairs to the south aisle roof and the tower should be taking place this month.
