New Church Heating System (Hurray!)

Work on our new heating system in St Bart’s has started!!!

Obviously there is going to be some disruption. Please can we all be patient and understanding in the knowledge that it is going to be great when finished. It will only be for a couple of months and it will be nice and warm for Christmas!

Inevitably, this project is going to be expensive and will be in the region of £90,000.

If you would like to make a donation, towards the heating fund, please put it in an envelope clearly marked “Heating Fund” (and don’t forget to Gift Aid it).

Alternatively, you can pay by bank transfer. If you would like the bank account details, please contact the Parish Office by email, look at a standing order form, or put it in a yellow envelope clearly marked “Heating Fund”.

PAINTING in PENN

DO YOU WISH YOU COULD PAINT?

On Tuesday 11^th and Wednesday 12^th January 2022, Painting In Penn will be opening up the classes for the intake of new amateur artists, from absolute beginner to the more advanced, who would like to enjoy the experience of water colour painting.

The course is modularised so that all the students can work at their own pace, without any pressure, through a range of activities, including paintings from holiday, photographs, their own drawings, landscapes, still life, portraits, flower or abstract works using water colour, oil, acrylic, pastels, or gouache media.

Additional support and guidance will be gained through constructive teacher assessment and personal self-evaluation, as well as the use of a comprehensive library of books, dvd’s and monthly workshops led by professional artists

Visit our website www.paintinginpenn.co.uk for an insight to our work.
