Candle of Hope

Following the call to light a candle in your window at 7pm on Sunday 22nd March there has been a call for weekly prayer at this time.  With the clocks changing and days becoming lighter it is suggested that a poster of a candle is displayed in you window and that we pray together as a nation at 19:00 every Sunday. A poster also removes the risk from an open flame.
