Pray for Camp Crave
As we prepare for Camp Crave, our annual youth camp, we’ve been thinking about the value in creating more space in our lives. When we create space in our thinking, our calendars and even the physical spaces around us we have a greater opportunity to invite God in.

None-the-less we have done our best to run groups at times where the most possible people can attend every week. We are keen to work with families to make the…
