A Gentle Start for the Whole Family: 8:30 AM Spoken Eucharist

Looking for a peaceful, meaningful way to begin Sunday? Join us for our 8:30 AM Eucharist. This beautiful, said service (without organ or hymns) is intentionally quiet and contemplative, perfect for centring your heart before the week begins. We warmly welcome children! The simplicity and shorter length make it an accessible and engaging experience for young families. Come share the quiet joy of Christ's presence, receive communion, and connect with our welcoming community. All are invited.

You are warmly invited to our Sunday morning service — a time of song, prayer, reflection, and shared worship. This is a Eucharist (or Holy Communion) service, where we remember and give thanks for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Whether you’ve been to church many times before or this is your very first visit, you’ll be made to feel welcome. There’s no dress code and no expectations — just come as you are.

The service includes hymns (songs), readings from the Bible, a short talk, and the sharing of bread and wine (or a blessing if you prefer not to receive communion). Children are very welcome — we’re used to a bit of noise and movement, and there’s space for them to feel comfortable.

After the service, we’d love you to stay for refreshments, nibbles and a chat. It’s a great way to meet others and find out more if you’re curious.

Church is a place for everyone — wherever you are on your journey of faith (or even if you’re just wondering what it’s all about), you are welcome here.

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.

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.

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.
