It was lovely to see so many residents enjoying hymns and prayers at Verulam House this afternoon. A big thank you to Jessica from the Abbey for leading such a wonderful and meaningful event for everyone involved.
We would normally hold these gatherings in our chapel, which is currently being redecorated, and we are very excited to see the finished result. We cannot wait to return to the chapel soon for our regular church services, hymns, and music events once the refurbishment is complete.
