Do come along to our Open Mic Night on the 20th March, it will be a great night
With the closing of Choir and Singing Mamas, as well as the winding down of Olders group at the end of March, there is a bit of change going on at Cornerstone. But with change comes room for growth and new things, like these beautiful spring flowers!
It'll be exciting to see what comes along next.
