Clergy Thoughts:" And so, dear Friends, we all can now realise that our Easter fulfilment is reaching its end having accepted, as per Jesus' Apostles, His Ascension into Heaven to join His Father. Now, we all may join with His Apostles in prayer as that one family. We hear in the Gospel of Jesus telling His Father that His Love for the People will always be known.  Those People, everyone, are still US. Alleluia Alleluia.” Rev Deacon David Croucher
