The Salisbury Diocese link with the Sudan
The Sudan features often in our prayers and the Sarum Link Diocesan Newspaper.
Bread & Cheese Lunches
We run a Bread and Cheese Lunch after the morning service once a month, normally on the third Sunday in the month. These are an informal time when we get to share a simple meal and give the cost of our normal Sunday lunch to the work of Tear Fund.
