Look at what God has done!'

Thank you - what a night we had! Exit Stage Left was a fantastic celebration of talent, joy and love for our community. We raised more than £1,000 for The Ragged Project. Thanks so much to all who supported.
Sunday Morning Service - here we are - the last time we will gather at The Shaftesbury. Please come with your stories of 'what God has done' as we celebrate our past and look ahead to His future.
