Nicky writes: Julian of Norwich is known for writing the book ‘Revelations of Divine Love.’ She was a unique and extraordinary individual who experienced visions or prophetic pictures from God.

A May letter from Sara
Dear Friends I hope you had a Happy Easter. Now we look forward to the end of the month when we will celebrate the feast of our Lord’s Ascension.

A March letter from Will
Dear Friends Christianity is one big invitation to know the God we see in Jesus. When you know Him it changes your life. We don’t want to be a Church that keeps this good news to ourselves.

A September letter from Will
Well it’s September, which means we call an end to the summer, finish our holidays, head back to work and wave goodbye to the sun. But instead of focusing on the negatives, I wonder if we could use this as an opportunity? A new term can be a great time to reconsider life patterns. Katie was speaking the other week […]
An August letter from Ruth
Dear Friends, As I sit and write this newsletter we are having the hottest day of the year, and it has been a very hot year – I am told it is comparable with 1976 for those of us who can remember that one. Of course, as Brits, many of us have had enough now. It is too hot to […]
