Join us for our monthly online Messy Church gatherings, now at the new time of 4:30pm!
We'll be crafting, singing and learning from the Bible together in the comfort and safety of our own homes. Don't panic, we'll make sure you know what materials you need in advance and afterwards we will be posting a summary video with the craft and story to go alongside each service on YouTube in case you miss out.
We would love for you to join us for our Monday morning Benefice prayer meeting on Zoom.
We follow a simple pattern of liturgy, reading Scripture, discussion and prayer to set us up for the week ahead.
