Elizabeth's BOOK
New Book –
Who was Nunc Dimittis Anyway? by Elizabeth Bailey £5.00
Elizabeth has written a book on questions we might have about all the odd, weird and wonderful things that happen in and around the church. As well as being a good read, all proceeds go to the church.
Elizabeth has attended Christ Church for many years and realised that we all have many questions about what happens in Church Services and what is meant at times. Her book was published for the first time in November '24 and sold out within a week! It is now in its second print and copies are available at Church. It is very readable and a good source of explanation of many questions that may have occurred to you!

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.
