WORLD DAY OF PRAYER:
The World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement led by Christian women; this year the material has been prepared by the women of the Pacific Island of Vanuatu. Join us for a short service of readings and music with the theme of building a strong foundation.
If you can, please find a small stone or rock to hold during the service.
The service sheet can be downloaded from here, but if you would prefer a paper copy, please email Sarah Taylor.
You can donate to WWDP by going to www.wwdp.org.uk. There is also text message option: Text 70085 using the phrase 2021WDP, and then adding the amount you wish to donate e.g. 2021WDP 5 (to donate £5)

Some people are not drawn to Zoom services but we’d still like to be in contact. If you, or anyone you know may need some help – spiritual or practical – please get in touch with one of the Ministry Team or your churchwarden. Contact details are on the Who's Who page.
It continues to be an anxious time, and it is so important for us to stay connected, as this impacts us all. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you feel in need of extra support.
