“And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation”.

Genesis 2:2–3

 

There will be no live stream this week as we are gathering in Frampton Mansell for our combined Benefice service.
