A phrase that often appears in our tweets, inviting people to worship with us is: “All Welcome. Always Welcome.” And that is true. All people are welcome. What will never be welcome however is the homophobic abuse that many people wish to pour on our priest @RevDaniel

Blessings and a warm welcome to Baby Jordan and his family, who was baptized last Sunday. His big brother responded to the presence of the Holy Spirit in the best possible way - with utter joy.
