Unity Service 2021 – Abiding With Christ

This week we join with our fellow Christians in and around Burwell for the annual Churches Together in Burwell Unity Service. But this year with a bit of a difference. For obvious reasons we cannot all be in the same building and so instead the service this year is distributed through each church’s usual channels.
The service is led by the Catholic community in Burwell on the theme of Abiding with Christ. With special thanks to the team at St Mary’s for tackling the collating and editing this week.
After the joint service itself, we have also added a further worship time with music this week chosen by Andy.
