You are invited to find out more about the Christian faith no matter your background or beliefs. You are welcome.
Every Sunday between morning services
Join us in church for a great way to start the day!
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.

For parents, babies and toddlers

Celebrate Black History through harmony and song! If you worship at church here you are warmly invited to sing with Bruce Ncube on 18th Oct, for a donation to the church roof fund.
If you attend a group activity here please contact us for ticket prices. (details below). Thank you.
We will enjoy some delicious accessible harmonies, in this very beautiful space with glowing wood, gorgeous acoustics, and vibrant modern reclaimed stained glass, for an all round sensory experience. Thank you to the church for your hosting support.
Bruce specialises in teaching traditional Zimbabwean/Southern African songs in 3 to 6 part harmonies. The songs and harmonies are emotionally charged and uplifting, designed to build each participant’s confidence with singing. His method of teaching and singing is in the traditional oral/ aural way; reminiscent of when people in Africa would gather around a fire in the evenings, or whilst working in the fields and start weaving harmonies. We have 30 people booked and welcome more. Tickets must be pre-purchased if not a worshipper at the church.
This workshop will be inclusive and highly participatory. You do not need to be experienced in singing to take part.
Please arrive 10 for 10.30. Event lunch approx 12.30 for 30 mins, please bring your personal lunch with you and a mug and a bottle of water. Please take your rubbish home and recycle if possible. Hot drinks available lunchtime for donation to church. Event closes 3.30. (4.5 hours singing offered).
Example links showing Bruce at a different event (not ours) are to be found on youtube.
Any issues text 07981 298 541. Please note that I will not be looking at my phone after 10.15 on the day.
Thanks and looking forward to singing with you, Catherine,

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.
