The Annual Parochial Church Meeting is taking place in church today after the 10.00am service. This is an opportunity for all on the Electoral role to reflect on the past year and look forward to the future. It is a really important meeting and you are warmly encouraged to come and contribute to the future of God’s church here in Richmond with Hudswell. Remember, if you don’t come your opinion will not be heard.

Next Sunday is Fun-Key Church when we will be exploring how we are called to be "Living Jesus". We will be doing this through hymns, activities, crafts, quiet space and a short talk. We will also be celebrating Fun-Key Church's 4th Birthday! Refreshments are available from 3.40pm and our service will begin at 4pm. This really is very relaxed fun, faith and fellowship for all ages and we look forward to welcoming you.
