A Brief introduction to British Sign Language
We are delighted that Thomas and Honesty and their family have joined us at our 10am services. Thomas is a BSL tutor and has offered to run a short introduction to BSL to help us communicate with them and also covering some “church vocabulary”. Grab a coffee and join us – no experience necessary!
