You matter, we care…
Are you finding life difficult as lockdown continues? Are you experiencing any of these feelings?
- fear
- frustration
- stress
- loneliness
- loss
- lack of hope
Or do you simply feel exhausted, apathetic or passive?
If so, we want you to know that you matter, and we care. There is help and support.
At St Paul’s we can offer prayer and support
