ONE cold church is hoping to turn the heat up on its congregation by raising funds for a new heating system.

Christ Church, Victoria Road, Erith, is a Grade II Listed building and contains magnificent wall frescoes.

It is launching its fundraising with the band Jokin Apart.

The band, which covers hits from the 1960s and 1970s, will be playing in the church hall in Glebe Way, Erith, on Saturday from 8pm.
