On the third Sunday of every month we have an informal gathering at Shorwell Parish Hall at 10.30am. We start with breakfast and then have a short time of prayer, reflection and sing a couple of hymns.
If you would like to remember someone in prayer, you can leave a tag on our prayer tree, and all who have visited and left a prayer, are remembered in our daily prayers.
We very much appreciate all the support that individuals are able to offer. If you are able to contribute by way of regular giving please complete the form here.
