Lots of ways to help your church community
Turquoise Cardigan Club
Have you heard about the Turquoise Cardigan Club?
Yes, it really is a thing!
We are a small team working on grant applications to raise funds towards the re-ordering of the back of the church.
The cost of the re-ordering is about £100,000.00. That’s right - £100k. That’s a lot of events and coffee mornings!
But there are loads of Charitable Trusts with funds to award for projects such as ours. We use the CofE Cornerstone Directory of Funders, provided by the Diocese, Somerset Community Fund information and any other information that comes our way.
We meet every now and then, usually in the evening, for a couple of hours.
Since we started grant applications in 2023 we have raised over £30,000.00, which has mended the Lady Chapel Roof, installed the new boiler, paid for the pipework. Would you like to join our team? you don’t have to have a turquoise cardigan!
Please contact Tricia for an informal chat.

Jerusalem awaits
"and did those feet in ancient times...
We are looking to find a musician to accompany our Sunday hymn services once a month with a suitable instrument or keyboard. There is also the opportunity to practice on the church organ if you wish to.
As the number of church organist steadily retire there are less people to take over the pedals, stops and ivory's.
We do not want our organ to fall silent but as you will know we are open very much to embrace change and that includes alternative created music to accompany our Sunday hymns.
If this is something you can help out with or know someone, even if just on occasions or would like to build confidence in front of an audience we would love to here from you.
