The possible mission trip in October this year to Eswatini will not go ahead due to team numbers not being viable. Our attention will turn towards a trip in 2024 and if you are interested in joining this team and expressing a note of interest, please contact wendy.brown@stmungos.org
Spirit Café Training Postponed: The planned Spirit Café training on Saturday 25 March is being postponed until after Easter. This is primarily due to the team coming over from Bethel being added into our church calendar and not wanting to ask people to attend events on consecutive Saturdays.
