PRESENTATION:

The Vicar, Rev Simon Kirby

Normally this is an opportunity to gather together in the Church and thank God for the previous year as well as share some future plans. This year the meeting will be very different as it will take place online via Zoom. It will be a shorter meeting than usual but still include opportunities to thank God for his faithfulness to us and share some thoughts about our next steps as a church.
