Sunday 18 June – Fathers’ Day
Pope John XXIII said, ‘It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.’
This is a reminder as we join together to celebrate Fathers’ Day that it is not just biology that makes a real father but love and attention and commitment. We meet to honour and offer gratitude for our fathers, in whatever form or fashion they came into our lives – biological fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, spiritual fathers and all the uncles, brothers and friends who, whether they know it or not, have helped to fill the role of father in someone’s life. Let us love all such fathers and each other.
Led by Tom Grimshaw. Starts 10.30 am. All welcome.

Sunday 11 June – Uncertainty
We live in uncertain times on many levels: political, social, financial, existential, and spiritual.
We seek to find security in the many tangible ways that seem on the surface to meet our needs. And yet, despite our efforts, we still feel doubt and uncertainty.
The service will look at what different spiritual traditions suggest to soothe our uncertainty, drawing also on individual experience and the insights of psychotherapy.
Led by Kath Fitzgibbon. Starts 10.30 am. All welcome.
