The first Saturday morning of the month would normally see men from Spurgeon’s and St. Frideswide’s sit down together for an egg and bacon roll and fellowship. Of course, in these times of social distancing that’s not been possible for the last two months. That hasn’t stopped the group meeting virtually, thanks to the wonders…

Interactive via facebook comments (those with an account) and via text message…

For this reason, from this coming Sunday 22nd March onwards, we will not be meeting for morning…
