Greener travel to UK

Have you not had that desire to travel in more comfort like one used to? These days this means trains not planes. Seat61.com is a website designed for people wanting to travel from the UK to Mainland Europe - but it can be used the other way!
With acknowledgement to the Bishop's Blog for pointing out this link!

Next Meeting of Young Adults Group

The next Young Adults Group meeting will be held 11 September 18:30 in church. Please see Young Adults page under "Activities" for further information.

The Bishop has a BLOG!

Bishop David Hamid has this month launched his own weblog, which is vastly more interesting than the Diocese in Europe's website! Here you can find a tweeted sermon, what the Bishop is reading, and much more to answer the question "What on earth do Bishops get up to?".
The Bishop's BLOG can be accessed here.
We wish him every encouragement with this new venture.
