 Archdeaconry Days - February 2022
Sometimes, even in church, it can feel as if God only calls ’special people’.
But God calls us all, because God created us, knows us, and loves us.
We are all called daily to live lives that are true to our Christian faith. God also calls us at times in our life to particular roles - which sounds tidy but is often pretty messy! Often those calls are something we take up for a season only. Sometimes they are for the rest of our lives.

- Saturday 9th April - 2pm to 4pm at St Michael's Church Galmington, Pitts Close, Taunton, TA1 4TP
