Church Gardening
We will be gardening again on Monday evenings from the 1st of June, starting at 5.30 pm in
the evening through to 7.30 pm, anyone who wants to come along and help will be made
very welcome. There are jobs to suit all ages and abilities and it is a great way of keeping fit
out in the fresh air.

Ecclesfield has entered in the ‘Village in Bloom’ event so do come along and support us so we
can have a Churchyard to be proud of and also have some fun in doing it.
See:-  Alan Smith, Alwyne Hill or Pat Wood for more details or just turn up on the day
