Every Monday from 2.00pm-4.00pm our hall becomes a community space for a variety of hobbies and activities. These are run by the community for the community. Anyone is welcome to share a hobby or skill and anyone is welcome to join a workshop or activity. They are all free. Or you can come and relax and chat, or enjoy the peace in our quiet area.

The activities are based around the '5 ways to wellbeing' which promote good mental and emotional health.

To connect, give, be active, keep learning and take notice will hopefully contribute towards a preventative approach to mental ill health.

On Wednesdays at 10.00am there will be a service of Holy Communion in church.

We have coffee and chat, prayer requests for ourselves, family and friends, then read aloud from a Bible book (Old and New Testaments), and Christian books by writers such as John Bunyan, CS Lewis, Jim Packer, John Stott and RT Kendall. We discuss what we have read in a relaxed and free-ranging manner - nobody demands we must 'get back on message'. 

Essentially this is a house group which meets on church premises. 
All welcome.
