There is a service at least one of the churches each Sunday and there is a mid-week Communion service at the Bradbury Centre, Eskmoors Lodge, in Castleton first Wednesday in the month at 11am. Anyone in the community or further afield is welcome to attend

Refreshments are served after each service and we would love to see you there - to share and grow in the love of Christ.
