Sunday Morning
Sunday worship takes place at 10:30 and is a traditional worship style with organ music. The service includes engaging with the Bible and thinking together, there is time for stillness, singing and enriching music.
Children are very welcome at this service and we have a children’s corner available, craft activities and on the first and third Sundays of the month team members are available to run activities adjacent to the service.
