The Linked Parishes Guild

THE GUILD

The new session of The Guild is almost upon us and the theme for 2004/5 is ‘Dare to Care with Compassion’. To help us explore this theme, the Guild Secretary, Dawn Steel, has planned interesting and stimulating meetings to help us find practical ways to ‘care with compassion’ in our own communities and further afield. New members from all our linked parishes will be most welcome. If you need transport please contact Dawn on 470319 or any committee member.

The Guild meets in the Church Hall Stichill at 7pm.
