Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and run with perseverance the race that is set before us.
Hebrews 12 v1


Our own Cloud of Witnesses honours those in our community who we have loved. Their lives continue to influence our own as we live out our faith in Christ.
