Ever need a break?
Is life so busy and hectic that you just need to take time out for half an hour's peace? Oasis could be just what you need. We are starting a new activity for those who crave or thrive in a quiet reflective environment; perhaps those who are more introverted and sometimes just need to step out of the daily bustle of noise and demands. It will typically last just half an hour. Oasis will start on Monday 1st November, at 7.30pm, in the church, and will run every Monday evening. |

Our Vision
We desire to be a vibrant and inclusive Christian community, inspired by God, to worship and reach out to nurture, heal and serve.
Worship: to make our lives ones of worship, both corporately and individually.
Reach Out: to reach out. Archbishop Justin said, ‘The church is not a rest home for the saints but a lifeboat for the world’
Nurture: to accept where people, the community and our world are at present, and to encourage growth and
development in a loving and supportive way.
Heal: to heal the damage done to our environment, to heal difficult relationships, to pray for physical, emotional and mental healing, to heal struggling relationships with God.
Serve: to serve by both practical action and prayer. Serving not only what God has given us (the world and all it contains) but also God himself; by proclaiming His word, making new disciples and loving one another as He loves us
