Sunday November 6th
Seeing God - How do you see God?
We'll be showing the responses of a number of people on Sunday. Come and see how people see God. We'll also pause at the beginning of our service and give thought to Remembrance Day drawing near. We pray for peace.
Perhaps there would be more peace if would stop to see God in everyone we meet.
