This week’s letter from our vicar, Tom Robson, for Sunday 12th May:

This Sunday at 10am, we kick off our Christian Aid week with a guest and hear from the next part of Acts. At the 4pm we’re continuing in whole-life discipleship by considering how we listen to God who speaks through his Word. Then at 6.30pm it’s our online prayer meeting, the joining details are inside this newsletter. Do sign up for the Christian Aid Meal & Quiz for all ages, Saturday 18th from 5pm.

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 (but not Thursday 16th May) from 10am until midday if you’d like to drop in for a chat or prayer.

God bless, Tom
