NEXT WEEK: Next Sunday, the Caring and Sharing tin will be on the font for any donations.
ST ANNE'S OPENING TIMES: Due to current building works, we are unable to open the church during the week, as we usually do. The church is open for all the usual services and events, such as daily Morning Prayer 0915 to 0945 monday and friday and other events publicised on the website. We hope the internal building work will be completed in December and the church can be open as usual.

Also, we have a regular slot called Spiritual Reflections which aims to look at questions of faith in a fresh, imaginative way. Contact Ashley or Ben if you can't find the content.
