The Hall is available for hire for meetings and parties and is very heavily booked. Book early to save disappointment. Also, please note that the Hall is not available for hire on Sundays because of the Church's own use. Book with Mrs. Lynne Le Seelleur tel: 07797 841649 or email: lleseelleur@yahoo.co.uk Something to think about: Amid the chaos of our troubled and dysfunctional world and the concern and distress this can engender, perhaps some of the words in this prayer from the Methodist Prayer Handbook, Day 22, can bring some hope and comfort. 'Eternal God, we seek clarity and reassurance in a bewideringly complex world. Grant the patient trust that will enable us to sense your hand in the emergent, the ambiguous,the random and the fragile. Give us courage to embrace your vulnerability seen in Jesus Christ. |
