Good News!!! Building Work Commences at Milson St Hub
The building work at Charlestown is about to start! Improvements include replacing the kitchen windows, along with windows in the Kahibah Room and Old Vestry. The Kahibah Room doors will be replaced, as will the fascia and gutter over the kitchen windows. In coming weeks, the kitchen linoleum will be upgraded and a split air conditioner will be installed.
This work will affect the kitchen availability from about 22 July. Crockery, cutlery and tea and coffee making supplies will be available in the Dudley Room while the kitchen is out of action.
Non kitchen work will commence on 15th or 16th July and the windows will be delivered on 23rd or 24th July to allow kitchen work to commence. We’re hopeful that this phase will take no more than two weeks, weather permitting.
The later work will follow on after a short break and hopefully we can schedule it to take less than one week. We’ll keep you posted, and look forward to welcoming you to our fresh facilities.

SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
What is Spiritual Direction?
The practice of being with people as they attempt to deepen their relationship with the divine, or to learn and grow in their own personal spirituality.
How could Spiritual Direction help me?
Perhaps you have a feeling of being adrift in life and desire to experience greater meaning and direction. Spiritual Directions sessions may be helpful in providing space for you to tell your story in order to explore meaning in every area of your life.
