You can find more details about our church life in The
Messenger, a copy of which you can obtain from the
steward.
The church is fitted with an induction loop; please switch
hearing aids to the T setting.
The children normally join us for the first part of the
morning service and then leave for Junior Church. There
is a crèche for very young children. When there is a
communion service the children go straight to Junior
Church and join us later for communion.
If you would like a particular subject to be included in our
prayers, please place your request with the steward, (if
you want prayers for an individual please make sure you
have their permission first)
