Dear friends
It’s another Bank Holiday weekend as well as being half term this week. I hope that those who are away have a relaxing break.
We’ll be meeting in the building at 11am tomorrow for an hour and online on the youtube channel @Moortownbaptistchurch. It will be great to join together as we look at Jesus life and ministry in the light of the Trinity on a day that many call ‘Trinity Sunday’.
