By the time you read this the new £5 note will have found it’s way into your wallet or purse. It’s the first polymer (plastic) currency ever issued by the bank of England. You can even dunk it in your tea (if you feel the need to!?) It’s impossible to turn on the news without […]
Summer is one of my favourite times of the year. Long evenings. Barbeques. Holidays and a good book. It’s a time to be with people without a meeting agenda getting in the way. I also love the summer because I’m a bit of a film-buff and summer is the time for the summer blockbuster! This […]

In our recent sermon series ‘Resolutions’ we said- ‘If you really want to be a better person, make the world a better place!’ This lent we’ll be […]
