Last week we looked at the Gospel story of the rich young man who thought that his wealth could get him into heaven, and who was told in no uncertain terms that it would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for him to get there.

We welcome everyone to share these discussions with us. Our service will, as usual, be followed by tea and coffee and chat in the hall.
