In this week’s reflection, we’re reminded of the three great virtues – faith, love, and hope – and how hope, often seen as childlike, leads us into the future with promise and possibility.

The recent celebration of smaller churches at the cathedral was a beautiful testament to the strength and spirit of our smaller churches. Read more about it here: https://cofe-worcester.org.uk/celebrating-our-smaller-churches/
