‘Brilliantly performed, light hearted and refreshingly fun’ – well done to everyone involved in this year’s CoGS pantomime. Please see the invitation to a taster afternoon below.
Tomorrow we have the joint service with Kingswood Parish at the Wisdom of God church in Lower Kingswood, followed by refreshments in their church hall. I warmly invite you to this service which gives us an opportunity to get to know each other a little more. Both the church setting and the service, which follows the pattern given us this year for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, make this service a different experience.
With every blessing,
Tim
