Summer Resources For Rest

Matthew 11:28 'Come to me, all you who are weary and I will give you rest'. Use the summer season to stop, reflect and rest in God's presence.

On this page there are links to resources to help you to unwind and focus on God. As your weekly programmes and groups slow down, find time to rest and be rejuvenated.
