It is with sadness that we confirm that, in line with Government restrictions, the church building will be closed for all activities from 5th November to December 2nd. This includes the café as well as our services. It is planned that we will continue to live stream the Family Service from the building at its usual time of 11am on Sunday mornings. Only those taking part in the service will be able to attend the building. For those who have no internet access we will continue to produce DVD copies of the service.

During this difficult time we continue to support members and friends of the church with phone calls, doorstep visits and practical support where needed. Thank you to all of those who are helping with this.

It has been a great joy to be back in the building for the month of October and, God willing, we look forward to being back in the building in December, but whatever happens we plan to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, Christmas is not cancelled!

The Leadership Team
5th November 2020

We want everyone to feel welcomed into our church and that’s not so easy if you can’t come into the building right now. To connect with us and get to know us better, get in touch on the contact page for an invitation to the video chat at 3pm each Sunday with Danny and Katia. Sit down with a cup of tea (other drinks are also acceptable!) and get to know us a bit better.

We are planning that our service on October 4th will be a Harvest Thanksgiving service and we will be collecting food for the local Food Hub. There will be a collection point in the Café on Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd October and also in the service on Sunday 4th October. We will not be making a display of the food but would be happy to pass donations on. Items needed are: Tinned vegetables, soups, meat, fish, fruit; Pasta, rice, biscuits, cereal, tea, coffee, sugar, jam, peanut butter, chocolate bars.

You can book to attend the service or watch online – we’ll add a link to the website closer to the time.

The Leadership are planning to start holding the Sunday morning service at the church from Sunday 4th October. We will be following Covid guidelines including pre-booking and the use of sanitizer and masks. The sermon may be pre recorded rather than live. The service will be live streamed so that those not in attendance can watch at home. We will also produce a DVD for those who need one but this will not be available until after the service. We look forward to being able to worship together in the church building.

To book in to attend the service, email Karen kc3927@aol.com or use the online booking form.

It is with much sadness that we are suspending our Sunday services until further notice, in line with Government guidance and other church bodies (Church of England, Methodist, Baptist, FIEC and others). We will, instead, be sending out material by email and post so that we can all take part in a programme of worship in our own homes each Sunday.

Although we are unable to meet together in person we know that as the body of Christ we can pray for each other, encourage each other and share each other’s burdens. ‘Cast all your cares on to Him, for He cares for you’ 1 Peter 5:7
