This month Revd. Christine Holzapfel reflects on the theme of listening – to God, to each other and to ourselves. Christine and Richard Burston, Rosie Byard and Sally Holzapfel share how they have valued being listened to and we look to scripture for insights into this topic.

Christine Burston reads Luke 24:13-32 and Richard Burston leads the prayers
