*************************************************************** SERVICES DURING OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER ************************************************************
Livestreaming is currently suspended but we hope to resume at some point in the future. Our focus at present is providing regular services with music following the retirement of our Rector Les and during the interregnum. If you wish to take communion but have a medically diagnosed gluten intolerance, gluten free wafers are available. Please speak with the minister before the beginning of a service.
