ADVENT
The Archbishop's Recommended Book for Advent:
‘Stick with Love’, by Arun Arora.
Martin Luther King famously declared that, ‘I have decided to stick with love . . . Hate is too great a burden to bear’.
‘A wonderful series of short reflections … easy to read but packed with depth and insight’ (Paula Gooder)
There is a copy of the book in the cloister for you to look at. If you would like to order a copy, priced £10.99, please add your name to the list, or email:
What has been going on at St Botolph's Church?
Work was recently completed in the church to achieve our project vision, which has been:
- To undertake urgent renovations to preserve historical features
- To allow more inclusive and flexible worship
- To become an intimate venue for musical events and support the development of young musicians
- To grow as a health and wellbeing 'hub'
- To celebrate our history
- To improve the church layout for key life events and enable access for all
For more information please see the Our Project web page or the Information Board in the church porch.
