Mission Partners
This Sunday 16th June we will welcome two speakers from L.A.M.B. one of our Mission Partners. Come along to either 9am or 10:30am service to hear from them.
Also here is a link to the latest update from Ellie Maffett.
Pray Your Part
The General Election will be a moment for the nation to ask important questions about the future. Pray Your Part is an invitation from the bishops of the Church of England to encourage prayer and participation in the life of our nation and communities, both as voters and as citizens.
This 21-day journey of prayer and reflection (from Friday, 14 June until Election Day on 4 July) is designed for use in the run-up to the UK General Election. Each day explores a different theme, with a short Bible reading, reflection and prayer for a different aspect of our common life.
Sign up for our daily election reflections via email.
