“When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action. And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I’ll be there.”

On Mondays we’ll be at the King St Halls from 10am-4pm, and on Fridays we’ll be at The Life Centre from 10am-4pm. Anyone is welcome to come along to this – though children must be accompanied by an adult.
