REAFFIRMATION OF FAITH SERVICE 10 NOVEMBER 2023

One of our CSS members, Linda, was reaffirmed into the Christian faith. A special service took place on 10th November in the Wesley Chapel at the Coventry Methodist Central Hall, led by Revd Stephen. It was a wonderful occasion and was supported by several members of CSS, in person and via a Zoom link 💓🙏
