Many of you will be aware of the tremendous amount of work that Roy Fishwick has invested in the refurbishment of the old Chapel at Bowley. It has been transformed into a truly multi-faith place of reflection and will be re-launched as such on Friday 9th October at 7pm.It would be great to see you and your young people there together with any members of the Clergy that you are able to invite and encourage.In advance of the re-launch we would like to re-name it. Clearly Chapel is inappropriate and whilst “place of reflection” is a good descriptive term we would really appreciate your thoughts for a snappy title……so answers / thoughts / suggestions on an email to Glen by the end of September (glen.fendall@bt.com). Who knows, you may even win a prize and/or a starring role in the re-launch!
