Wild Church

Go wild in the country. Well in the area around the church - looking for God in nature, and learning about all the ways he watches over us by providing us with the environment we need to live in this world. There'll be lots of activities, things to do and find, a bit of Bible, and new friends to meet. Everyone welcome! In May we will be thinking about birds and where they fit in our lives and God's creation.
