If you would like to read Sian's sermon from Sunday, you can find it here.

Come and join us for a contemplative time of worship, where we aim to create a sacred space in which to encounter the mystery of God.  Feel free to arrive and leave when you wish. The evening will close with a healing service.   For more information contact Martin or  Claire Murray.
