a year agoA beautiful wee church in lovely community gardens. Paul the deacon bakes fresh, sour dough bread here every day. What a wonderful way for us to connect within our community. Community gardening every Friday 10-2 bring something for a shared lunch. Knitting and sewing group the 2nd Thursday of each month. I will be commencing sewing workshops here in the near future also. Services on sunday go along or contact Paul the Decon for further information.
