The brass band have been in fine form recently and always add a Christmassy warmth to the heart! The soloists have been practising too and sounding fantastic! And the children's choir is filling up ... so we're nearly set for Saturday's Christmas on the Green! Plus there's crafts, free drinks - and a special feature on what it means to BELONG to our Shirley community ... See you there! https://www.facebook.com/events/919138460284598

In light of the scenes of civil unrest across our country, tensions have risen and so must our prayers. A protest is planned for this evening in Southampton (and in lots of other cities and towns). Churches across Southampton are joining together in prayer for our city and nation, for the police and other emergency workers, and for those who are feeling scared to go about their daily lives. Do join in this prayer gathering tonight. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87573056426?pwd=Fz8l3mkNQuqYeaCdlDObTmwcajcUkv.1

Great that two of Shirley's churches are featured in this video celebrating the life of one of Southampton's most famous sons, Isaac Watts. Born 350 years ago this week! This video was played at many of our churches yesterday. Do share!
