Sunday 21st August 10:30 – 11:30 am: Sunday Gathering in the church
This service led by Tom follows a marginal note left by an Irish scribe in a ninth-century manuscript. It simply reads: “Pleasant to me is the glittering of the sun upon these margins because it flickers so”.
The Psalmist observes that ‘this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it’. Please join us as we lift up our hearts in praise.
We will continue to open the windows to ensure good ventilation and will continue our sanitising routine in the church, including asking you to continue sanitising the toilets after use, please. Wearing a face covering in a crowded and enclosed space is suggested by the government, however, this is at your own discretion.
