This week’s letter from our vicar, Tom Robson, for Sunday 28th April:

This Sunday at 10am, come and hear what happened as Jesus went back to glory and the promise of his return. At the 4pm we’re continuing in a series on whole-life discipleship and thinking about how we all have a part to play. Then at 6.30pm it’s our monthly prayer meeting in the Church, do join us if you can.

If you are visiting us on Sunday, please ask the welcome team for a welcome pack and prayer is usually available after our services. Our aim is: ‘Together, to make Jesus known.‘ We would love the chance to get to know you and share more of the life and faith of our church. I will be in the Church Centre on Tuesday and Thursday from 10am until midday if you’d like to drop in for a chat or prayer.

God bless, Tom
