Forthcoming Events

Harvest lunch Sunday the 25th of September: There will be pink fizz in church following the 9.30am service. This will be then followed by the lunch in the hall around 12pm which will cost £10 per head. The PCC decided on an outside caterer so that the congregation does not have to organise the lunch. Please let Ron Peppin know if you intend to attend.

All are welcome to attend. 

The week-day and Sunday services use Common Worship. 

Wheelchair access in the church is available but sitting in the wheelchair must be at the back, or at the front, of the church.
