her time writing, advising and training others in what is a vital and growing area of ministry for us at West Cliff.

Other churches will be invited to join us and there will be a nominal charge of £5 per person (free to West Cliff people). Hot drinks and biscuits will be provided but attendees should bring their own lunch.
