Services are moving to the Large Hall at the end of October

​

Our beautiful old stone church is phenomenally expensive to heat in the cold weather, at least until we get a new heating system approved and installed. So, as we have done in recent years, we'll worship in the Large Hall when the weather is cold, except during Advent and over Christmas when sometimes the hall isn't really large enough.

 

So, beginning with Sunday 25 October (which by the way is when the clocks go back) you'll find us in the Large Hall on most Sundays. We plan to get back into the church on Mothering Sunday again in 2027, although that's a bit earlier in March this time, so we might have to consider the switch back nearer the time.

 

We'll be in church though for all the services from the start of Advent (29 November) to the new year's Covenant Service (3 January) unless it really is perishing and wearing a woolly to church isn't going to be enough!

 

Services in the hall are just the same as in church. From our highly unscientific polling it seems that some people even prefer it.

Coming to Church? 

If you need information about facilities before you join us you can always contact the office or you might find any questions about facilities and access arrangements answered on the Visit Us page or the What Happens in Church page. Or perhaps the FAQ page might help. And if the FAQs don't answer your question please tell the website editor by clicking here so we can try to help and improve the website for the future.

 

There is a service every Sunday and Wednesday morning. Regular activities are always busy, such as the Monday afternoon fellowship, Mother and Toddler group on Thursday mornings in school term time. 

 

There are always refreshments after Sunday morning services. Please stay if you have a few minutes, to share news, make a friend, ask the preacher a question, or treat yourself to one or two more biscuits than you really should eat before lunch.

​

Our community rooms are also busy. We have hosted some fantastic family parties recently and some great one-off events like exhibitions and concerts, as well as our weekly regulars like the Girlguiding and Scouting groups, dance and music classes, and social and cultural fellowships. For information about hiring the rooms or joining an activity, get in touch with us Peter, through the office or by clicking the Book A Room button at the bottom of the page.

Prayer in the Garden

​

Don't forget the garden at church. Please take advantage of it if that is convenient for you. Depending on the weather, it can be a beautiful place to sit peacefully for a while and share a moment with God, especially now it is blessed with a lovely new bench. 

​

It seems to be very popular with families taking pictures after baptisms and weddings too. ​

​

Thank you to everyone who volunteers to keep it tidy. If you'd like to "adopt" a flower bed, get in touch with any of the stewards.
