    “something that the church overwhelmingly felt was not the way forward”

  • New Choir CD

    There’s a new choir CD out this week. Recorded last January, this one is an Advent/Christmas extravaganza. The perfect gift for Christmas. The CDs cost £10 and will be for sale on Sunday in church and available online (if there are any left) next week.
