175th anniversary of our beautiful Church. During this special year, the PCC

discuss the planned activities. Everyone is welcome, and don’t
worry, you will not be forced to do anything you do not wish to do.
Neither will you be ‘treading on anybody’s toes’. Every member of
the Church has as much right to their opinion as everybody else.
