 We are very much looking forward to welcoming Michael on Sunday 18th October at 9.30am. He and Sabrina are settling into The Vicarage with much enthusiasm and looking forward to meeting everyone. Understandably Michael and Sabrina are keen to invite their son, Harry and other close relatives to join us on that morning.
Therefore we have decided to ‘ticket’ the occasion to enable us to keep to the current distancing rules.
Even if you are a regular member of the congregation, please 'book' via Sue Ayres - Susanayres1@gmail.com

Virtual tickets will be allocated on a ‘first come – first served’ basis.
