Message from Bishop Colin - 'Please do book in to come to the Grand Day Out.  It was always going to be a great day but now it’s extra special because it’s our chance as a church family to say goodbye to +John. If you can’t make it don’t forget the Thames Pilgrimage 18-28 September which is all about the ongoing journey.

We are starting a collection for a thank you gift for +John. Details of how to contribute are available here. Many thanks.' -  +Colin
