Meet You On The Mountain
We are going to spend the year with the words of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount taking a slow walk that will bring us to Advent at the end of 2026.
For the two summer holiday months we will take a slight detour and explore wisdom in the world which could be drawn from creation, art, music, film, a book or something else - this will be the choice of the speaker and hopefully take us in lots of different and interesting directions.
