Melksham ChurchReal Religion - When you give to the needy (Matt 6:1-4)According to our very own Bishop Andrew, "our holy habits tend to drift and slacken, and we need Lent to tighten up our resolve".

This week we kick off a new series looking at what Jesus teaches his disciples about Real Religion, beginning with 'giving to the needy'.Matthew 6:1-4Charlie ThomsonSt Michael's Melksham6th March 2022
