Everybody has a place in the worship of our great God and Father; all are welcome at God's communion table, at the gatherings on Sundays and midweek, and at our social meetings and parties. We love children, and the noise they make reminds us of their value! There is a children's group to join and toys and books are available at the back of the church. We would very much like to welcome you for coffee or tea after the services in the Church Barn, to help ensure that you are included in our vibrant church and community life, and have the opportunity to learn more about our faith.
