Normal service will resume the following week.
Café Siena will open on Thursday as usual.

This morning’s Sunday service (2nd August) will no longer be outside as originally planned, but will be inside instead.
We’re worried about forecast sun & heat and while umbrellas & gazebos were considered, it has been decided to hold the service inside.
It will be a communion service, and we’ll be exploring a new theme – ‘Summer Road Trip’ through the Psalms.
We’d love it if you could join us.
Our ECO prayer of the month …
Almighty God,
As floods, droughts, and wildfires wreck lives, homes, and livelihoods,
our hearts break as we recognise the injustice at the heart of the climate crisis-
it’s the communities who have done the least to cause it who are most affected.
We pray that as these communities’ act to recover from climate disasters, and look to adapt to the changing conditions, you will provide protection for them as you did for Noah and his family.
We pray that polluting corporations and nations will listen to the calls of affected communities and change their ways, so all your people may live a full life in peace, love, and prosperity.
Amen
Prayer by Christian Aid

The dates we’ll be outside are
Sunday 23rd will be our Holiday Club service – taking place indoors.
