Hagley Music Festival 2024.  Many thanks to everyone who helped with the festival – with organizing, with running the bar, stewarding, providing refreshments, and clearing up afterwards!  Lots of different people attended the various events and concerts, and greatly appreciated the wonderful music and contribution of all the musicians who performed.

May’s edition of CONTACT is coming shortly.  Copies will be available in all our churches.

Thy Kingdom Come (TKC) is a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus from Ascension to Pentecost (9th - 19th May). As a church we will be hosting a TKC Prayer Hub on Saturday 11th May 10:00 - 16:00 at St Saviour’s Church, providing a contemplative space to inspire individuals in prayer as well as communal prayer gathering at 12:00 on the same day to pray alongside other churches for our local community. There will also be free copies of this years’ TKC Prayer Journal and Novena available to pick up at the back of each of our three churches from the beginning of May.
