A short service of prayer and reflections to celebrate Christian Unity Week followed by a ‘ bring your own sandwich lunch ‘. Drinks provided. The resources have been written by churches in Burkina Faso in West Africa who are suffering from so many difficulties within this troubled country.
BOOK TALK
If you enjoy talking about books you might read or have read, then the following group might suit you.
On the fourth Monday of each month at 9.45am until 11.15am at Coffee in the Chancel, you are invited to join others over a cup of coffee to chat and share your reading experiences. This will be fairly informal and you can drop in and out as you wish.
