What’s coming up?
Pop the date into your diary.
Back in September 2022, the queues to pay respects to the late Queen reached 25 hours.
There were many reasons why people joined the The Queue, but one thing united them – in the words of a famous footballer, it was something that “was meant to be shared”.
Festival services and events are one of those times that are meant to be shared – so do come, be a part of it and share the experience with others.
Taizé Service
Last Sunday of the month, 6.30pm
Service, Song | Silence | Contemplation
Taizé is a wonderful way to take a breath in the midst of all that life involves. With music, readings alongside silence and space to contemplate means that you can leave refreshed and revived for the week ahead.

Ascension Service
18th May 2023
Join us as we celebrate the moment when Jesus return to the Father – his mission complete.

The Sun came out for our BBQ and games!

Pentecost Baptisms!
Pentecost is always a time of joy for the church, and even more so where there are people being baptised too! Thanks to the artistic gifting of the wonderful Jane Parker, we did we also enjoyed a stunning canopy of paper doves installed over the Altar that seemed to...
