Beginning on March 6th, and for an experimental period of six months, we will be reinstating the 8.30am Holy Communion service on the first Sunday of the month. Towards the end of this initial period the PCC will review this provision, and decide if a full reinstatement ought to be considered.

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
