Super proud of our amazing choristers who asked to be informed by our Bishop @cherry_vann today. Moving testimonies about their love of God, the importance of faith & how music plays a big part for them.

Great views from the top of @newportcath tower today. Clear blue skies for our open day. So pleased I went up the tower, grateful I got through the hobbit door to get onto the tower roof! Thankful no need to dial 999 for rescue!
