Messy Church
(4th Sunday each Month) at 10am
Messy Church has changed its timing. We are having Messy Church on a monthly basis in the mornings in place of Junior Church. Messy Church will start at 10.00am in the hall and be for anyone who wants a craft based worship, but particularly applicable for families to do together. It will finish at 11.30am when refreshments will be served.
In the church building there will be worship as normal. Most (Messy Church) Sundays it will be a shorted Service of the Word but planned with adults in mind. This service will also finish about 11.30am with the aim of joining the families in the hall for refreshments.

MAGAZINE ARCHIVES
We have also kept copies of the magazine on the website from previous years for you to explore. Please follow the link.
The Advent letter from Chris about our church and faith.
Pathfinders meet each week (either via Zoom or in a small group when there is no lockdown) - We share thoughts and try to explore the gospel for today.
We have a fun but thoughtful Junior church for the children in term time which is led by our wonderful volunteers. For teenagers we also have pathfinders which makes the Gospel relevant to their life.
Our church has many historic features and you are welcome to explore and reflect as you visit our church. Why not visit our historic website to learn more.
