Our theme was Love and John 13: 34. The children were a delight and made cards to give to people they love, and those who care for them. After juice and biscuits, we sang a hymn and shared what kind things we can do to show our love.To view more pictures click the link.

This year, our Lent Devotional booklet ‘Journey to Freedom’ will walk us through Exodus. Bishop Philip writes in the preface: “Has a greater story ever been told? Exodus has all the ingredients. A flawed hero in Moses. An arch-baddie in Pharaoh. The appalling injustice of slavery. The vivid horrors of the plagues. The jeopardy of a last minute escape. The hyper-real psychodrama of the wilderness. The promise of a glorious freedom. What more could you want? Well there’s much more!Booklets will be available in church on Ash Wednesday and Sunday 18th February
