CORONAVIRUS INFORMATION

Coronavirus Update – 23rd March

As of tonight, Monday 23rd March 2020, we are now unable to open our church.  It is sad that we are no longer able to keep our church open for private prayer but we have to support our NHS.  

We can pray in our homes and that is something I encourage you to do.  Please pray for all affected by Covid19 and for all NHS staff.

THE GOD WHO SPEAKS – A YEAR OF THE WORD

The Bishops of England and Wales have called for a Year of the Word under the title, ‘The God Who Speaks ’.   

God has spoken to human beings since the dawn of creation, but very few have listened as intently as they might!  

This Year will offer a wealth of ideas, resources and experiences for us to deepen (or create) our relationship with the God

who speaks to us through the Bible.
