February 23rd 2025

 

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

 

John 1:1-5

 

There is no live stream this week as we are gathering together in Frampton Mansell for our combined benefice service. Do join us if you can.
