Stained Glass Windows: A booklet on our beautiful windows and their dedications is now on sale at the back of church: a bargain at only £2.50!
Thank You! During the organ restoration our church cleaning teams have, week by week, come in and prepared church for our Sunday services and we owe them a big "thank you". The repairers did finish off each Friday with a clean and tidy up but there is always more to do for our teams than would usually be the case and we are very grateful to them.
God of hope, in these times of change and uncertainty, unite our nation and guide our leaders with your wisdom. Give us courage to overcome our fears and help us to build a future in which all may prosper and share: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
