Thank you to Rev. David (St Mark's) and Father David (Islington area Sub Dean) who both supported our launch with blessings and prayers. Everyone contributed, and it was a beautiful event. The singing was amazing and a great example of how well everyone already works together and how excited they are to be part of a new and inspiring vision.
