Concert day is here! Join us on Fleet Street this evening for beautiful music for choir and violin, celebrating the landscape of the British Isles. Tickets at ticketsource.co.uk/chantageuk/t-d…

We would love you to join us at this event in March. Enjoy a meal together, the bar will be open, and we have a really engaging speaker in Graham Daniels. He will help us to think about our goals in life and whether they will satisfy. Get in touch if you'd like to come! @CIS_UK

@PeteDavTenor @RoyalAcadMusic @BBCSingers Congratulations!

@faithinkids Chitty chitty bang bang? Maybe not quite right... the kids didn't break the car but their dad certainly fixed it!

Help me! I need an illustration for an all age talk resource.... A character who is in bits because of something they have done that has broken, been damaged, fallen apart..... Returns to discover it is totally fixed by the hero/Dad/friend. To illustrate that 'it is finished'.

We would love to see you at our Jazz Café Carols by Candlelight this Sunday evening. Live #jazz, congregational #carols, readings and a Christmas message - as well as mulled wine and festive treats. Guaranteed to make you feel Christmassy!

You are invited to our all-age #Christingle service this Sunday! Carols, readings, refreshments and a Christingle for the children. Whether this is part of your Christmas tradition or you've never done it before, we'd love you to join us! gracechurchhighlands.co.uk/christmas
