ST GEORGE GOES ON HOLIDAY

Two of our Farsi leaders are currently working with the church in Cappadocia and are trying to raise awareness and financial aid for that community which is very poor.

If anyone would like to find out more or help financially, please email Mojtaba

Over the summer we will be making some improvements to the foyer area, so some items from the space may be missing in the interim. Please bear with us while we make the changes and fear not... the wooden carving of St George will return.
