Rev Ann Stuckey who works with our team writes this blog to help adults with learning difficulties. She explains about her blog:
If you’ve wondered about making friends with your local residential home but not sure how to do this, then this website will help you do just that.
Visit the information page to learn how to go about making contact with your local home, how to set up a visit and ideas on what to do during that visit.
Visit the video page to see a tried and tested session in action. Be enthused with how much fun it can be to visit a home and take a session. Also the reward of the smile and interaction of the residents will stay with you for a life time.
Welcome to a silent space for all faiths and none. This space is intended as a way to encourage peace in our troubled world and as a gesture of solidarity with all humanity and the whole of creation.

A film of a Lenten art project led by Jan Lees for Holyford Mission Community, with participation from other church members. Please click to see the film.
In the film Jan demonstrates some of the techniques she uses with charcoal and erasers, offering insights into the way the art was created. This is followed by a gallery of the images created by Jan and the other participants, with reflections and poems.
Many churches around the country are taking up the idea of a candle in the window not just on Mothering Sunday, but every Sunday at the moment at 7 pm. So please join us in this quiet witness of caring, faith and hope.
This week we are praying especially for our NHS.
Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of thy only Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
Following the advice of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, PUBLIC WORSHIP IN OUR CHURCHES HAS BEEN SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. If you have any concerns, or need to tell us of people in particular need, please contact the Churchwardens or a member of the Ministry Team.
Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ,
you taught us to love our neighbour,
and to care for those in need
as if we were caring for you.
In this time of anxiety, give us strength
to comfort the fearful, to tend the sick,
and to assure the isolated
of our love, and your love,
for your name’s sake. Amen.
