Worship:

We gather for weekly worship on Sunday mornings, starting at 10am. This always include songs of praise, learning together from the Bible, and prayer.  On most Sunday mornings we celebrate Holy Communion.  A few times a year, there is a 5th Sunday in the month and on these mornings we do something different to add some variety - check our list of services and events for more details.

On the first Sunday of the month, 4pm, we gather for Famly Worship which is ideal for families with children. It is informal, creative and interactive.

On the third Sunday of the month, 4 - 5:30pm, it's Messy Church, which is even more informal and creative and we finsih by eating tea together. It's ideal for families with young children.
