Services and Opportunities for Worship

Updated 23/9/22

Additional activities available on our Activities page

We welcome you to our worship this Sunday and through the week.

If you are a visitor, we hope to see you again.

We will not be operating a booking system (unless we begin to exceed capacity at services) but will

continue to have a welcome steward who will take the details of those attending the service.

Please enter through the Welcome area. Face coverings are no longer required on church premises, but are still encouraged, particularly if you are likely to be in close contact with anyone who may be clinically vulnerable. We will continue to have spare disposable face masks available at church.

Tea, coffee and squash will be served in the church hall after the service.
