This will be a very informal session, and hopefully enlightening and enjoyable.There will be group work so it will be advisable to bring your spectacles and a pen. Refreshments will be served from 1.45pm . Thank you to all those who have agreed to attend.

Friday 6^th March 2pm. The rehearsal will take place for those who are involved on the previous Friday, 28^th February at 2pm. The venue for both days is;

St. Cuthberts Church. Marley Hill

In the letter released today, the Archbishops asked us to hold Sunday 22nd of March as a day of prayer and action at this difficult time for our country. One action is that we hopefully light a candle and place it in our window at 7pm and stop for a moment to hold in our prayers those who are sick or anxious. If you don't wish to light a candle as an alternative you might wish to print off the poster and display it in you home.Click here for candle of hope poster
