The Eucharist service, also known as Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper, is a sacred ritual in Christian worship. For those unfamiliar, it is a deeply symbolic and communal act where participants partake in consecrated bread and wine, symbolizing the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Rooted in the Last Supper, this service fosters a sense of spiritual communion and serves as a reminder of Christ's sacrificial love. In the Eucharist, individuals find a profound opportunity for reflection, unity, and a tangible connection to the central tenets of Christian faith, even if they are new to its rich traditions.

Families are very welcome to come and share some craft or activities followed by a song, a prayer and tea together.

Come and join us coffee and cake and most importantly a chat!

We are open from 10am to around 11am on Wednesday mornings.

Get to know people from around the village - or just get the opportunity to be out of the house.

We would love to meet you.

You don’t need to know what to do, or even what you believe — everyone is welcome here. Whether church is part of your life or something completely new, you’ll find a friendly space where you can simply come as you are.

Children are very welcome — we love to see families in church, and there’s room for little ones to be themselves.

All Souls is a tender and reflective time in the church year when we remember before God those we love but see no longer. It is a moment to pause, to give thanks for their lives, and to bring our grief, our memories, and our hope into God’s presence.

All who have recently been bereaved are especially welcome to this quiet service of prayer and contemplation. Names of loved ones can be read aloud as part of the service, and candles may be lit in their memory — simple yet profound acts that help us honour them and entrust them to God’s eternal care.

Whether your loss is recent or from many years ago, this gentle service offers space for reflection, comfort, and peace. In the stillness of worship, we remember together that God holds us, and those we love, in unfailing love and light.

Meditation has become a regular and enriching part of our community life. Each first and third Wednesday at 6pm, we gather to quieten our minds and create space for God to work within us. Whether you are an experienced meditator or simply curious, we warmly welcome you to join us on this journey.

We believe that meditation is a skill that can be developed over time, much like prayer. It’s an opportunity to intentionally step away from the noise of daily life and enter a state of peaceful awareness. In this silence, we can listen for God’s guidance and deepen our spiritual connection. It is a time to simply "be" with God, without the need for words or specific requests.

Our sessions are usually around 30 minutes and to help you feel more comfortable during the session, we suggest bringing a cushion for the pews.

We look forward to seeing you there.
