We are delighted to have Gill Behenna joining us for our gathering this year.

We also have the joy of welcoming Marilyn Baker to lead our music worship. Marilyn became blind soon after birth and from a young age demonstrated an extraordinary gift got music. After training at the Royal College of Music and teaching for a number of years, Marilyn felt a deep desire to share her faith through music which she has been doing for the past 40+ years. Find out more about Marilyn and her ministry here.
