Sit, reflect and feel free to sing along to great music of worship in a combined music event.
The concert will support Refugees and the food will be donated to Friends of Refugees
Please bring with you one (or more) long life food items,
ie pasta, or a pasta sauce, rice, tea, coffee, tinned tomatoes, tuna or any other long life item/s.
