The new kitchen and disabled toilet with baby changing facilities was dedicated and blessed by the Bishop of Dorchester, The Right Reverend Gavin Collins, on Sunday 10th December 2023. Bishop Gavin presided and preached at the service and thanked all involved in the hard work to bring this project to fruition, including former Vicar the Revd Canon Sally Welch and all who have raised funds to cover costs. Church Warden Dine Glasgow offered thanks on behalf of everyone to fellow Church Warden Paddy Gallagher who oversaw the project on a daily basis, and to Parish Administrator Jo Paton, whose expertise and hard work was such a key factor.
An audio recording of the service is available here, including Bishop Gavin’s dedication of the facilities and sermon, and Dine’s words of thanks. Thanks to Maureen Sparling for the photo.
