St Michael’s Church Project: NACRE
NACRE is the acronym chosen by St Michael’s to identify its project for the Narthex And Church RE-visioning. A plan for renewal. The work, which has been approved by the church authorities, will transform the area into a more welcoming space, which can be used by the whole community. It will involve new LED lighting throughout. The Narthex (church hall) will be insulated and double-glazed windows upgraded together with new flooring and chairs.
The initial phase of fund raising is now complete, but more events are in planning – watch this space for details.

OTTERY FOOD BANK
21st October 2024
For most of the 12 years we’ve been running, we have given clients vouchers for fresh fruit and vegetables from the greengrocer on the square, as well as the usual non-perishable groceries. They are greatly appreciated.
However our funds have been gradually depleted and we are now at the stage where we will have to stop providing the vouchers unless we receive more regular financial donations.
Some folk already give by standing order which is a great help but we are asking others to consider doing likewise to support the scheme.
If you are willing to offer this support, or wish to make a donation, please email for our bank account details.
Food donations may be left in the box at the back of St Michael’s Church, or the Food Bank box in Morrison’s supermarket on West Hill Road.
Delivery Volunteers Wanted
Could you help with delivery of
The Messenger? We are desperate for more volunteers. The rounds normally can be done in 30mins to an hour, and all are in West Hill.
If you can help please email
