April 27th 2025

 

Faith is important because faith frames who we are, our existence, our values, our hopes, and our dreams. Faith is the quiet calm before a storm. Faith is the anchor in a storm. There is a misconception that faith is all about winning

 

There will be no live stream this week as we will be gathering in Poole Keynes for our combined Benefice service. We hope you can join us.
