1. What do we do well?

2. What do we think God is calling us to do more of?

3. Where are the gaps?

4. What three things would help us to achieve these aims?

Following the recent plaster fall from the ceiling at Christ Church Walmsley, we have received confirmation from our Insurance Underwriters that services can go ahead. As a safety measure, we have cordoned off the affected areas and signposted to prevent access. Please be aware of this when entering and using the church.

Services will recommence in Christ Church Walmsley on Wednesday 22 April at 11am with Mid-week Communion led by Revd Ian Hepburn.

In the coming week, we are also invited to attend these Deanery events:
