Autumn ends and winter begins. As the days grow shorter, we’re invited to slow down, reflect and look after one another. Albert Camus wrote, “In the depth of winter, I learned that within me lay an invincible summer.” May we carry that light into the season ahead.

Yesterday we celebrated 75 years since the foundation stone of our “new” St Columba’s, a wonderful day filled with gratitude and community.
The service was uplifting and the choir’s majestic concert was a highlight enjoyed by all.
Here’s to the past 75 years — and the 75 to come.
