The churches’ outside fundraising in May focusses on Christian Aid. Living in Love and Faith (‘LLF’) is a series of resources designed by the Church of England to enable learning and discussion in the realms of identity, sex and relationships, marriage and love. It has been available to us for over two years as an online learning hub. In Westbourne, we shall offer a short 5 session course this summer, wanting to engage with some of the themes of LLF. It all begins for us with a ‘taster’ presentation, in the Parish Hall on Saturday 21st May, from 9-10am. Do come along to enjoy a light breakfast and learn about the content of the intended course. If you can let me know in advance that you are attending this will further help catering. Revd Andrew Doye
