Worship on Sunday March 26, 2023 (Lent V)
Please join us for our Service of Holy Eucharist on Sunday March 26 at 10:00 am, the Fifth Sunday in Lent. Our readings are Ezekiel 37:1-14, Romans 8:6-11, and John 11:1-45 . Rev. Chris Easthill will be presiding and preaching. The bulletin is here and the livestream link here.
Sunday School takes place during the service and we have a creche/nursery service for the younger children.
