Blessing the Bikes
Ride (or walk) to worship on Sunday 28th October if you can. We gather out on the steps after worship to have our non-motorised wheeled transport blessed. This is one small way of showing our care and respect for the environment.
After worship you are invited to ride or simply come along to Temple Park, Grey St. Brunswick where the Community Team will host our annual Spring Picnic. Bring your own lunch or something to share. A bike ride will follow.
