Post-Greenbelt social

Instead of having a "normal" Wednesday night this week, we're having a post-GB social upstairs at the Cornerhouse (near Oxford Rd station) from 7.30pm.

See you there?

Tonight, and Greenbelt

Tonight's service starts at 7.30 in Nexus and features a saggy old cloth cat. Come along and find out what the heck I'm talking about...!

Then over the weekend, lots of the community are going to Greenbelt. Sanctus1 (Sun 10pm) and Sanctus2nds (Sat 10am) are both doing services in New Forms. It'd be good to see you there.
