Welcome

On February 14^th, St Valentine's day,  we are launching the Heart of Rode Appeal to ensure that St Lawrence's church is kept in good heart for the future. 

The PCC has plans approved to convert  the existing vestry area of the church to a small meeting room equipped with a loo and facilities to allow us to make and serve drinks and wash up afterwards.  (At the moment someone takes the dirty cups home in a bucket).  The plans are quite straightforward but as you would expect with a listed building it still comes to a considerable amount of money- £60,000.  More information can be found here.

We'd love you to come to the Family Service on February 14^th to celebrate and give thanks for the love in your life. It might be someone you have recently fallen for, or been married to for twenty years or an elderly parent you appreciate anew.  At this service we will be building a big heart to signify the love that is shared in our community and receive donations towards securing the future of the village church.

CONNECT is the monthly magazine issued from the Diocese to support clergy, Readers and lay leaders and churchwardens. Lots of articles and useful information. the January 2010 is available now
