We can only accept the slot if we get enough volunteers, so please come forward as soon as possible! If you can volunteer an hour or two, please contact Ossie Williams

Interesting news!
Alison has been asked to do a large floral tribute at the high altar in Westminster Abbey for the Memorial Service of Sir Terry Wogan on Tuesday 27 September! (We think it will be the pedestal on the left hand side of the altar.) The service will be televised so we will be able to look out for it. We all appreciate how blessed we are to have Alison in our church and for her amazing, and nationally recognised talent. She is much too modest to tell folks herself but we are so proud that she has been asked to do this by the organisers on behalf of Sir Terry Wogan’s family – so congratulations Alison from all your friends at our church!
Cornerstone Chapel Refurbished
Have you seen the new look inside and outside the chapel? Do come and have a look sometime as it is greatly improved providing a wonderful calm space for prayer and quiet reflection.
There is to be a service of re-dedication soon, watch this space for details.
