Market Street presence – This was on hold at the moment due to works in the High Street. It is hoped that the High Street will be open to market traders in August 2014.

INTRODUCTION TO THIS YEAR’S THEME 1. Who drinks of this water… Journey, scorching sun, tiredness, thirst … “Give me to drink.” This is a demand of all human beings.

Living with this diversity, but being faithful to Christ’s desire for the unity of his disciples, has led them to a reflection on Paul’s provocative question in 1 Corinthians, “Has Christ been divided?” In faith we respond, “No!” yet our church communities continue to endure scandalous divisions. 1 Corinthians also points us to a way in which we can value and receive the gifts of others even now …
