It was a great joy to confirm these thirteen wonderful people this morning at All Saints Parish Church, Normanton. Ranging in ages from 11 to 68, they are a wonderful reminder that Jesus calls people of all ages and backgrounds to follow him and choose life. #worship

People’s homes are being stormed by far-right groups. The govt. Is saying nothing about how violence like this will not be tolerated. Where is Starmer’s “law and order” now? They’ve no control and we are moments away from someone being killed. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
