The Men's Society

Sadly,  it has been decided to disband the mens' society,  due to a combination of reasons.   These are mainly: the difficulty in getting speakers and the increasing age of the members,  meaning an increase in the absencies from meetings due to failing health of members.   The final event was held this month (February 2008) and was a lunch held at the Carvery.

Sunday School

Leaders:  Hazel Davies and Pat Pope. 

 The Sunday school meet at 10am on Sunday mornings during the Sunday morning Eucharist and the children come back into church in time to go to the communion rail with the adult congregation to receive a blessing whilst the adults are receiving communion.

Choir.

St Jude's has a small but faithful choir led by Mrs Suzanne Jones,  who meet each Wednesday.  They sing in both morning Eucharist and Evensong.  They also enjoy rehearsing for special occasions and sing at all Holy Week, Easter  and Christmas services.

They are always on the look out for new members,  especially some male voices.  They are a friendly lot who enjoy a vibrant social life and also work hard to fund raise at their Choir coffee mornings.

Youth Club

Led by Mike Radford,  the youth club meets every Monday evening from 6.00pm to 8.00pm in the church hall/community centre (Rose Hill Quarry on fine evenings during summer.  It is open to any young people aged 7 and over.   Various activities are available including snooker and table tennis.   The young people can choose what they want to do and get on with it or join in group activities.   It is intended that the young people themselves will set the policy for the club through a committee.
