Special Event | Summer Friends Days | Joe and Cathy | 29 & 31 August 2026

Summer Friends Days

“I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.”

— Philippians 1:4-5

Join Cathy and Joe at The Wellspring as we celebrate over two separate days, our three years in Ledbury, serving God’s people in the Malvern Hills and three counties areas.

We’ll be looking back over our time here, sharing exciting plans for the future, and listening to testimonies from Friends who have been blessed by the ministry.

There will also be time for food, fellowship, prayer and worship.

Places on each day will be limited to 25 so do reserve your place as soon as you can.
