The lunch with Nic Harding
At our recent lunch meeting on Thursday 22nd May 2025, it was good to hear from Nic Harding, who leads Together for the Harvest in Liverpool. Nic was a great encouragement to us as he shared about the work he is involved in Liverpool, gathering the churches under an Evangelical Alliance banner to reach the city and the outlying regions.
