Summer Sunday Morning Communion at 11am
This Sunday we reach the end of our Summer series on the Short Letters, this week looking at the letter of 2 Peter with the theme Don’t Forget! So, what it is that we are encouraged to remember? Come along to find out and to join us as we worship God together. There will be a children’s group during the service and afterwards please stay on to enjoy some time together……

Summer Sunday Social – Sunday 23rd August after the 11am service
We hope you have all been having a fabulous summer and, odd as it is to say, isn’t it good to have had some rain! This Sunday marks the end of our 11am summer services and we are finishing with a BBQ social at church after our service. It is important for us to have an idea of numbers so that we know how much food to provide, and also whether there are any dietary requirements (i.e. vegetarian) It would be great if you could bring a dessert or a side dish to complement our sausages, burgers and rolls!
Please sign up here

Summer Sunday Morning Worship with Advocate at 11am
Continuing our series on Short Letters, this week we are considering Paul’s letter to Titus and his message of Good Lives, Good News.

Jude told Christian folk to 'watch out!' in his letter - but watch out for what? We'll be finding out in this month's All Age Agape. Our readings are taken from Jude 1:1-4; 17-25 and Matthew 24:3-14.

Remember that our services are at 11 am. Hazel has kindly organised activity packs for the children and young people- but don’t let having a few more years of experience stop you investigating them if you are young at heart!
