Service times

This council is responsible for the day to day running of the church, its activties and the upkeep of the building.

As part of the Millenium celebrations in the year 2000 every household in the village of Whalton was given a disposable camera so that each family could record images of what Whalton meant to them. The results were exhibited in the village hall. A set of these prints were then used by Ian Johnson of Broomhill, Whalton to produce this montage of Christ.

The original consists of over 2850 individual pieces and is currently on display in the church.
