🕊️ A huge thank you to all who attended, sponsored and supported our recent Church Fayre Day! 🕊️

We were especially delighted to begin the day with a blessing of our new Peacemaker's Chapel by Bishop Niall Coll, together with fellow celebrants. It was a meaningful and inspiring start to a day centred on community, creativity, and fellowship 🤍

Thank you to those who attended our information session about our "Nurturing Hope Together" campaign. We hope to hold more of these information sessions in the coming months.

And a massive thank you to all of the talented crafters who brought their beautiful crafts and for sharing them with our community - it was wonderful to see so many people come together to support local makers, enjoy the warm atmosphere, and celebrate this special occasion with us.
