Holocaust Memorial Day
;)
WMC: January 2020
This year Wantage Library will be having a display to mark HMD. They will be having a book display in the library from Monday, 13 January to Monday, 27 January. To complement this our chapel will be open from 10 am to 11.30 am on Monday 27 January as a quiet space for personal thought to people of all faiths. It will be an opportunity to watch some film clips and images, reflect and to light a candle. All are welcome to drop in for a short while and, of course, drop in to the Community Café (open from 9 am to 12 noon) for a coffee.
