The Deacon’s Treasure The Deacon’s Treasure is a parish magazine published three times a year, at Easter, St Laurencetide, and Christmas, designed to reflect the life and spirituality of Christ Church St Laurence and its people. It offers a range of contributions on subjects from personal spirituality and CCSL events, to the issues engaging the whole Anglican – and the greater Christian – community. Offers of contributions to the magazine are always welcome, with preference given to people associated with the parish.
