Dear Friends,
We are sorry that Tower and Tap is not available at the moment but would
like to keep you informed about Church events with this sheet to cover the
quarter to the end of November.
As the Autumn comes upon us and the nights draw in we think of the chang-es
that happen in the natural cycle of life, seeds full of potential fall and then
after an apparent dormant time we see the new seedlings develop that bring
us hope. Our lives can go through periods like this but the Bible teaches us
that the love of God brings us hope and in the midst of the change God never
changes.
Every blessing,
Vicky Fleming, Priest in Charge
