Richard Cole becomes Rutland's High Sheriff

Richard Cole, a long standing member of our congregation, became Rutland's High Sheriff at a small ceremony recently. Given the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 virus, Richard gathered with a few friends and county dignitaries at Oakham Castle to be sworn in. We wish him and Pat every success for the year ahead.

New Mothers' Union Members

Three new members of the Mothers' Union were welcomed at, what turned out to be, our last Sunday service for a while. Libby Thornhill, Pamela Stokes and our youth worker Natalie Stiles received the congratulations of Janet Wardle the branch president and were blessed by Canon Rachel.

Every year Churches Together in Uppingham have a joint service, celebrating our unity of faith. Members of Uppingham Methodist and Congregational Churches joined their sisters and brothers in the Parish Church.
