It's increasingly the case that the Vicar's homilies are not scripted in a way suitable for online reading - some are to be found below, but it's better to catch him live (most Sundays in each of our churches - and online through our Home Page and via our Facebook pages)


The Vicar is also to be seen recorded live on his YouTube Channel - find it here, and you can use the subscribe button to keep up to date
