Prayer Meetings are on Tuesday evenings,from 7.30pm to 9pm at the Vicarage. All are welcome.

On Sunday 6th May we will be launching two new services! Don’t worry, they aren’t that different from what we do already, but at 9am there will be a said Holy Communion Service in the side chapel, and at 10am we will have a less formal service without communion as we Worship Together, including Sunday Club for the children during the service. This would be a great service to invite people to who don’t normally come to church. Who could you invite?

Bible Study Group will start again, at Barbara's house, on Monday 21st May looking at Exodus 13:17-14:31.

Ladies Group will be going on a Bluebell Walk on Wednesday 9th May, probably followed by a visit to the pub!

On Sunday 27th May, from 12 noon to 2pm, Archbishop Rowan Williams will be leading an all-age service at Stoneleigh Park. There will be a hog-roast after the service. This will be a chance in a lifetime to meet him before he retires.
