A wonderful start to the new term at St Benet Fink Tottenham with our first Evensong and Curry of the season.

We were blessed by the beautiful music of our choir, which enriched our worship, and grateful for Fr Joshua Pollard's thoughtful and inspiring homily. It was a joy to gather together in prayer, fellowship, and good company over curry afterwards.

We look forward to welcoming everyone to our next Evensong in October. 🎶✨🙏
