Re-Engaging for Fall

At this time of year we seem to start things up again—and our Calendar of Events is certainly full!  On top of these special events, don’t forget about out weekly parish and Care Home Bible studies and worship     services!  There may also be other events coming up within your home congregation, be sure to keep up to date so you don’t miss out!

Has your parish ordered theirs for the year?  This year there’s a new format of Advent and Lenten    reflections—they’re free but need to be ordered!
