As we seek to fulfil our church’s vision to be a place where everyone is welcome, we all encounter situations and people different to our ‘normal’. That’s good but it can often feel uncomfortable!
Please join us in the Parish Room on Wednesday 27th February at 8pm as we learn to equip ourselves for the joys and challenges ahead.
