Sunday 12 May

10:30: a service of Holy Communion

The Gospel reading is from John 17:6-19
It was good to see so many people at the 9:15 service last week, the first since pre-Covid days. And it was also good to see people chatting over coffee between the two services. Why not join us; the next 9:15 service will be on 2 June.
A special word of thanks to Daniel for his first service as Congregational Worship Leader at the service of Morning Prayer at 10:30. Bookmark 2 June for another service of Morning Prayer, and more from our authorised Congregational Worship Leaders.
