Today is the 50th edition in our Sunday Reflections series - we thought this might be a project covering a couple of weeks but little did we know! Thanks to all our Church Family who've helped contribute over the last year and to Amanda who's continued to minister, innovate and entertain us all through these challenging times.

Joining Amanda this week, we have readings from Ruth K and Ruth S with our prayers led by Mhairi
