Abbey Family News Celebrate at New Wine

Nearly 30 members of our Celebrate community are at the New Wine Christian conference and holiday together for a week from Sunday 30 July at Shepton Mallet in Somerset. We will be travelling by mini bus and camping on the Bath and West Showground for the week. At New Wine we will be worshipping together each day alongside over 6,000 other Christians on site, attending seminars, sharing meals and having lots of family fun time together. The children will go to a variety of groups where they will also worship and learn much about Jesus alongside exciting ways of having fun such as gunge tanks and live worship bands! Would you please pray for us: as we travel, for good weather for our camping, and for a wonderful time together and with Jesus as we continue to grow in faith on our journey as your family from Priors Park. Thank you! Revd Wendy & Revd Ed.

Huge thanks from the Community of St Anselm for last quarter’s charity giving. Thanks to your generosity we were able to send a cheque for around £1200. Thank you – Catherine Williams
