They have lovingly restored the building to be welcoming and com- fortable for visitors. gaps. Thankfully enough new members came forward to fill the gaps to ensure we are able to carry on for the future and it is always good to have fresh ideas.

Everyone who attends will be able to explore the chapel and learn about its history as they share in a cup of mulled wine and a mince pie following the service.

A wonderful display was put together showcasing the amazing quilts, crafts and paintings produced by some of our very talented members.
