"O Lord, God of hosts, restore us;
if your face shine upon us, then we shall be saved."

It was great having NET Ministry’s 12 young people from the USA visiting us last weekend. We look forward to them returning to lead the Youth Retreat Day 11am – 2pm Sunday, 29th October for all our young parishioners in P6, P7, S1 & S2. We hope that as many young people as possible will be free to attend. P7s, it would be great to see you all there, as part of your preparing for Confirmation. No need to bring a packed lunch. Lunch will be provided. Youth NET Ministry day retreat - part of our Golden Jubilee Year celebrations.
