Advent and Christmas services​

Services in the Large Hall

​

New heating is needed for our church and won't be available for this Winter. Our beautiful old stone church is phenomenally expensive to heat with the existing system. When it's cold, we feel it is better stewardship of the resources God has given to us to gather to worship Him in the newer parts of the building.

 

Like last year therefore we will hold most services during cold weather in the Large Hall. We moved into the Hall for Sunday services again from 26 October, but Advent and Christmas services will be in the church. That means services will be in church from 30 November but we will go back into the hall after the first Sunday in January. Services in the hall are just the same as in church.

​

Wednesday morning services

 

Every Wednesday morning at 10.30 am there's an opportunity to join us for a short service. Here are the worship leaders for the next few Wednesdays, although we apologise in advance if there are last minute changes:

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 our manager, 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. Or at least it will be when the bench is back from being repaired! 

​

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

​

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.
