HAPPY EASTER!

Fr Gareth wishes everyone a very Happy Easter. The resurrection of Christ permeates the darkness with a light that will not fade. As we walks these days ahead, let us keep close to Christ, who promises us the glory of his resurrection to all who turn to him in love and faith. 

CHURCH IS STILL ALIVE…

Fr Gareth will continue to live broadcast except on  Saturdays by Facebook (tinyurl.com/frgarethjones) from the temporary oratory in The Vicarage. If you have internet access, you might like to join Facebook and ‘friend’ Fr Gareth in order to be able to receive the live stream and thus unite with others in prayer and worship in real time. Several other members of the church family are on Facebook, many of them having joined since the current crisis began. Please ‘friend’ them too so we can maintain an online church community.

HOT MEALS FOR VULNERABLE PEOPLE

Are you or is someone you know particularly vulnerable at this time and would value having a free hot meal delivered twice each week?
