From Murray’s Diary
The PCC has approved plans to replace the piano in Nave of the church with a digital instrument. Though it is the best of the three pianos we have it now goes out of tune very quickly (despite all of David’s attentions). A digital piano will be much more useful for a number of reasons though it will cost nearly £2,000. It will be easier to move about, does not go out of tune and can even record music. Enid has generously pledged more than half the cost in memory of her parents and people are invited to contribute in thanks for the ministry of our Worship Group.
