We are delighted to announce the first annual Friends of Christ Church Lecture at 4pm  in the Community Centre at Christ Church.  by Martin Palmer. Martin is Secretary General of the Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC) a secular organisation he founded with Prince Philip to work with each major faith around the world developing environmental programmes based upon the faith’s own teachings, traditions and resources. The lecture will be followed by tea.

We especially thank God for the ministry of Martin’s father the Ven. Derek Palmer and his wife Cecily. We welcome back members of the Palmer family today as they remember, especially Cecily, who died 10 years ago yesterday. The floodlights are lit on Sunday night for all those who have ministered at Christ Church in past years.
