Grow your own
As part of our sustainability initiative, we will be growing cress, which is ready to eat in about 5-6 days. See this page on our website, but if you come along on Sunday we'll provide you with some seeds and a starter kit!

We are entirely self-funded and we have cut back our expenses as much as possible; but we still need a regular income.
|
We're grateful to everyone who continues to support the church and its work, which goes beyond weekly services. In particular, we are thankful for some generous donations over the Christmas period, which have helped reduce our deficit. Thank you!
