Spring is here!

The warm weather seems to suggest spring has arrived. Spring is the season of new life and new beginnings and that is what we celebrate at Easter. New life and giving people the chance for new beginnings is what we live for! Our prayer is for us to step into the new life Jesus gives us ever more fully and to bring this new life to others – our vision is:

'WE ARE THE FAMILY OF GOD ON MISSION SEEKING TO TRANSFORM CLARENDON PARK AND BEYOND WITH THE LOVE AND POWER OF JESUS CHRIST.'

There is lots going on this term that will help and encourage us to do just that… one thing that we want to celebrate is that we have now received formal ‘permission’ to replace our pews with chairs – we will be communicating more detail about time frames and fund raising for this in due course.
