Over one hundred information packs handed out at Sunday’s launch of the Warm Welcome Project, our 5 year vision for the fabric of our building and six areas of our life together - children/young people, teaching/praying, eco, pastoral care, tourism/visitors, and Little Gardens.

More packs are still available for free in Church - containing information booklets, a pledge form, and a prayer card - or you can find the launch brocure online at stclementsandwich.org.uk/warmwelcome
