Dear Friends, With life in lockdown there is not a lot to report this week. We wrote last week about prayer being one of the positive things we can do. Sometimes it’s difficult to know where or how to start. The prayers Claire used in Sunday’s online service were very helpful and we have added […]

The building is closed, but we are still here… Dear Friends Our services will be online only once again from the 10th of January onwards. As soon as we have plans for re-opening they will be shared here. Things are different to anything we have known before. We may not be able to gather as […]

Dear Friends, At the start of a New Year and a new period of lockdown we are conscious that daily life varies greatly, depending on the stage of life we are at and individual circumstances. For some of us life hasn’t changed greatly, once we have got used to staying at home, yet we are […]
