Urban Priority Areas

UPA Focus Group

We are in the process of setting up a new UPA Focus Group, and I would like to invite clergy and lay people to be involved. If you are interested and would like to discuss the matter, please contact Revd Tim Horobin on 01254 503274.

This group will meet around four times a year, its main aim being to look at the issues facing the urban church and community. The group will not be just a talking shop, but an action group.
