Thank You! To everyone who contributed to our Christmas services, our schools work and care Home visits. It has been wonderful to have a wide range of people taking part and leading our worship during Advent and the Christmas period. Thank you especially to all the children who have taken part in various ways.

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2026 18th to 26th January This year Ephesians 4 v 1-13 is the central text, with the words “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling.” Prayers and reflections have been prepared by the faithful of the Armenian Apostolic (Orthodox) Church, the Armenian Catholic and Evangelical Churches, drawing upon centuries-old traditions of prayer used by the Armenian people, along with hymns that originated in the ancient monasteries and churches of Armenia, some of which date as far back as the fourth century.
