verse of the day

When I said, "My foot is slipping," your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. My anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me Joy

About us

Our Aim is "To know Jesus and to make Him known". Join us as we learn more about God and how His love affects our lives

Sunday Service 10:30am. We are a friendly welcoming congregation, who love to learn more about Jesus and share that love with others
Some Sundays we have 'cafe Church', where we sit around tables, drink coffee, share prayers and discuss matters of faith. Other Sundays we are more traditional and sit in rows. Our communion service is usually on the 3rd Sunday of the month, and all who love Jesus are welcome to take part.

Tuesdays some of us meet at Bicky's for Coffee and a Chat

Wednesdays Prayer in the Vestry

On Thursdays we meet at 10:45 in the back room to discuss the bible and it's meaning to our lives, followed by an ecumenical communion service @ 12:15 led by the Parish Vicar (Rev Sarah Bick). and a soup & roll Lunch. Everybody welcome
