In the light of the current COVID situation, we feel that it will be best if Kettle and Fish takes an extra week break and opens for the first time in 2022 on 20th January, providing it is safe to do so and within government guidelines.  All being well, we look forward to seeing you at Suffolk Road Church on Thursday 20th January, 9.45am-1.45pm. For up-to-date information see Church News or the K&F Facebook page.

The Open Forum that was planned for Thursday 20th January has been postponed to a later date because of concerns over Covid.
