CREATION CHURCH!

Our monthly walk from one of the churches in the Savernake team, taking in the beauty and awesomeness of Gods Creation. The walk will take about an hour with short stops along the way for reflection, although this is vey much a ‘go at your own pace’ gathering. Usually on the second Sunday of the month at 3pm or 4pm depending on the season. Our next CREATION CHURCH is on Sunday 14th January starting at 3pm (parish to be announced) and finishing with refreshments back at the church. We hope you can join us! Any age welcome, and bring your dogs too!
