Our church will also be hosting our regular summer services, including outdoor worship sessions that allow us to praise and reflect amidst nature's splendour. I invite you to join us in these gatherings as we give thanks for the season and seek inspiration from its beauty.

Let's also remember those who might find this time of year challenging. Whether it's the elderly who struggle with the heat or families facing financial pressures, let's extend a helping hand and show our love and support in every way we can.

Wishing you all a joyful and blessed summer. May it be filled with sunshine, laughter, and a renewed snse of community.


Warmest regards,

Reverend Allison

I hope this letter finds you well and enjoying the warm, sunny days of summer. As the season unfolds, I am reminded of the beauty and abundance that surround us, a testament to God's glorious creation.

Summer in our villages is a time of vibrancy and community. The longer days provide ample opportunity for us to come together and celebrate the many blessings we share. I encourage you to take part in the various activities planned for the coming weeks, for the churches we will be enjoying running our weekly summer picnics, with crafts and fun and games for families. These events are wonderful occasions to strengthen our bonds, enjoy fellowship, and create happy memories.


CHRISTIAN AID COLLECTION MAY 2024  

Thank you to those who distributed envelopes and to those who donated.  Just under £240 was raised via the envelopes and online.  The focus this year was for supporting rural communities in Africa to set up small businesses by supplying basic essentials  - for example a safe - to begin an enterprise.  Every £10 raised goes a long way.
