St Mary the Virgin, Upchurch.
The Friends of St Mary the Virgin, Upchurch [in short FOSM] is a secular registered charity that seeks to support the funding of maintenance and repairs to this historic Grade 1 listed building. Also, the charity seeks to publish and promulgate the history of the church.
Firstly we invite you to join us in the church on Thursday 13th October at 7:00pm to a talk being given by Revd Chris Shipley about the large “Te Deum” stained glass window in the eastern end of the church behind the altar.
For a few short minutes before the talk commences, FOSM will hold its AGM.
During the evening refreshments will be available and the event will finish at 9:30pm.
Secondly, if you want to become a member of FOSM then our Treasurer, Roger Pocock, would be pleased to hear from you at rpocock@talk21.com or 01634 233521. Annual membership for Upchurch residents is £10 single or £15 joint.
At the present time, the church is progressing with much-needed repairs to the Bell Tower and Chancel. FOSM will be contributing to these works - if you wish to make a donation then contact the church directly or make a donation via FOSM by contacting the Treasurer.
Hon. Alderman Gerry Lewin - Chairman of the Trustees
