Jonah an Encounter

When storyteller Ruth Steadman travels to the outer Hebrides to apprentice in the old tales, she finds herself in the belly of a story far bigger than she could have imagined. Accidentally locked down on the islands through the pandemic winter, her mother dying of Covid, will Ruth discern Jonah's life-changing call?
Weaving living scripture with testimony, autobiography and science, this is a wild and intimate storytelling encounter with a prophet whose mind and heart still have much to offer our times.
Jonah is intimately staged int he round. Booking is advised.
To allow access for all, Jonah is offered on a pay what you can donation basis.
Pledges are invited from those able to support Jonah's continued journey - please contact Ruth for information.

WELCOME TO OUR CHURCH!

We  hold services at 10 am each Sunday  -   Holy Communion on the first, second and third Sundays of the month, and lay-led Morning Worship on the 4th. When there is a fifth Sunday separate arrangements are made - watch the church noticeboard. 

As the church is small and has no ventilation (apart from the door) you are very welcome to wear a mask during services - we have plenty of spares!

We are an Inclusive Church and do look forward very much to welcoming you.
