Spring brings repairs in the north aisle, a scaffolding climb that reveals hidden craft, and a hopeful turn into Lent with a focus on service and giving. We meet a mason on site, hear from the Bishop’s chaplain about Papua New Guinea, and welcome children who turn the church into a place of discovery.
