Lent Visits

The Ministry Team have tried to clear their diaries so that they can visit parishioners in their home to pray and read Scripture with them during the season of Lent. While the circa 20-30 minute long visit will have some time to chat, its principle purpose is to share Jesus with you in your home as we prepare to meet the risen Lord at Easter.
