Advent
A wonderful online Advent Calendar is availalble here: https://www.churchofengland.org/faith-life/what-we-believe/advent-and-christmas/advent-calendar
God of the nations,
whose sovereign rule
brings justice and peace,
have mercy on our broken
and divided world.
Shed abroad your peace
in the hearts of all
and banish from them
the spirit that makes for war,
that all races and peoples
may learn to live
as members of one family
and in obedience to your law.
Let there be peace in Ukraine.
We pray this through your Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Nature Recovery
The Nature Recovery – We Can! initiative stands as a testament to the power of community action and collaboration. It exemplifies how local efforts can lead to significant environmental change. By fostering a culture of conservation, they are hoping to inspire others to take similar steps in their own communities, proving that together, we can make a difference for our planet.

Sharing love & Good News

To ensure our young people get the very best start in life we do all that we can to support our schools. Being part of a wider community we support and promote our local businesses and community organisations. Generosity is central to our faith so we seek to help wherever we can including through our support of Foodbank. We also help our community further afield through our support of Christian Aid, Compassion and other agencies in this country and around the world.
