Clergy Thoughts: In these times of violence and fear, we are reminded that Our Lord is a source of forgiveness and with our seeking He is not a "saver” of our sins. The Lord has shown His salvation to the nations, and it is up to each of us to accept and ask for it. So, in that Love from Our Lord, always be one to remember in our prayers to say " Thank you Lord":  Deacon David Croucher 

Prison Week 12th – 18th October: The simple purpose of Prison Week is to encourage prayer within the Church and the wider Christian community for the needs of all involved in prisons - prisoners and their families, victims, prison staff and those working in other parts of criminal justice system and many volunteers.
