There'll be lots of familiar carols and readings, and fun for all the family. Anyone who would like to dress as a nativity character is especially welcome!

We have an informal service most Sundays, with music from a band, or sometimes songs and hymns recorded here or elsewhere. We have bible teaching and a chance to respond in prayer as God's spirit prompts us. We're a generous and welcoming community and we would love to meet you. Every week we either provide separately for children, or take trouble to include them in the main service.
