Weekly Announcements
Thought for the week from The Vicar ….. Sometimes the wisdom on social media sites is questionable, however I came across the following, ‘the most precious jewels you’ll ever have around your neck are the arms of those who value you the most.’ Let us thank God for his love, the love our family, friends and those whom we worship with every Sunday.
