This is one of our regular Friday gatherings happening on the 2nd Friday of most months. Please note the change from our pattern - this is the first Friday of June.

The morning is for prayer, worship, relationship-building, training and sharing of news and will become a key part of the shared life and rhythm together for leaders across our family of churches. The morning is for men and women by invitation - for senior leaders, pastors and other pastoral staff.

We’re delighted to be joined by Rob Parsons, joining us for the day to train and equip us to develop our own communication skills.
