Join us online at 7pm on Sunday nights through the season of Epiphany for a look at key women in the Bible, their stories, their challenges and their roles in leadership, faith, and evangelism. Topics will include, Mothers and Daughters, Mothers and Sons, Women Leaders in Challenging Times, Women of Faith, Women Rivals, and more.

Outdoor services continue every Wednesday evening at 5.30pm (though they may move inside on occasion if the weather is very miserable).

On 9 January we will celebrate the Baptism of Our Lord: one of the four Sundays set aside for Baptisms by the BCP. If you or someone you know is interested in baptism in January, please contact Father Todd right away!
