On Sunday 23rd November, we welcomed Bishop Ruth to our church to celebrate Christ The King, and for four of our youngest members to be admitted to First Communion. The presence of Bishop Ruth made the occasion especially memorable, as she led the congregation in worship and shared warm, encouraging words with the children and their families.

During the service, Noah, Olivia, Arthur and Emily received Holy Communion for the first time. This marked an important milestone in their faith journey, following weeks of preparation and learning. Bishop Ruth took time to speak directly to the children, affirming their place within the church family and encouraging them to continue growing in faith, curiosity, and compassion.

It was a special day not only for the children and their families, but also for the whole church, as we celebrated faith, community, and the next steps in the spiritual journeys of our youngest members.
