John 20 v 24 - 25 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the oth-er disciples told him'We have seen the Lord.'

Please consider helping. You will not be left on your own and if you wish to volunteer as a couple that too can be accommodated.

We extend a warm welcome to all visitors who are worshipping with us. If you are new to our church, please make yourself known to one of the stewards.
