LOVE IN ACTION
Love in action is serving the needs of our community.
As a church we want to love those around us by pursuing cultural renewal by partnering with local community members, organisations and charities to meet the spiritual and social needs of Allenton and Shelton Lock, and the city.
We’re in this together. If you want to support St Edmund’s in serving this community, or whether you (or anyone you know) needs help at the moment, we’d love to hear from you.
