I don’t have all the answers, if fact I don’t think anyone has all the answers. I’m struggling to know how best to help those struggling with depression. Struggling all the more since the sudden loss of a friend.  Struggling to understand.  So I’ve turned to a book written by someone (Mark Meynell) who has…

The recording of the service is currently uploading, but due to slow broadband it will probably not be ready to view until 8pm. Sorry for the delay.

Leslie Humphrys very sadly died on Saturday. His funeral service will be at Killoughter church today (7 April).
