Torbay
– Hameln Churches We had a great time of fellowship with our friends from the congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Münster-Gemeinde, Hameln, Germany together with friends from other local churches during their visit to us from 05 April to 11 April this year. The group stayed as guests of members of congregations of Torbay with hosts coming from several of the churches affiliated to Christians Together in Paignton. An interesting and varied programme was being arranged (see below). There was a supplementary programme for the young people. The visit also marked the 25th Anniversary of our friendship.
