Regular Services
Whoever you are, and wherever you find yourself on life’s journey, we will be delighted to welcome you at any of our services. These are the services that happen each week; there are additional services at other times and at special times of the year such as Easter and Christmas which are advertised in our News and on our Homepage. Some of our services are streamed on Facebook and uploaded later to our YouTube Channel – you don’t need an account to watch on either of these.

Exploring Silent Prayer
Silent prayer has been a part of Christian tradition for many years; it is similar in style to the ‘mindfulness’ which has increased in popularity in recent years. In this service a leader will introduce the session with some thoughts for reflection, which is followed by an extended time of silence and then some concluding prayers. The service lasts around 45 minutes.
