We meet on the second Monday of each month at 11am. We are using a pattern of prayer used by the Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer (http://www.contemplative-prayer.org.uk/). Each session begins with relaxation, followed by an introduction to the saying for the day which is a short sentence of scripture. This saying is repeated as a mantra in three sections of about 7-8 minutes: first thinking about the saying, second allowing the saying to ‘speak’ to the heart and the third in which we use the saying to pray for others. The session ends with a final prayer. There is no pressure to share anything or to pray aloud. We finish at 11.45. Everyone welcome.

For children aged from 5 to 12 years

This year we are again offering a FREE Church Holiday Club, which will be taking place in Cheddar Village Hall and the Old Vicarage garden from 9.30am to 12.30pm, for four days from Monday 24th to Thursday 27th August 2026.

We will be looking at stories and their meanings (parables) that Jesus told using games, craft activities and storytelling.

Booking forms should be returned by the end of term if you want to secure a place for your child/ren. Some years we are oversubscribed so please only sign up if your child is able to come for the whole week, not just the odd day.

On the Thursday, at the end of the session, we will share what we have been doing during our time together, hopefully giving you a glimpse of the fun the children have enjoyed at Holiday Club. There will also be a barbeque in the Old Vicarage garden, weather permitting, so do try to keep this date free. There will be more details of this during the Holiday Club

An Alpha Course, which you may have already heard of, is an opportunity to explore the basics of our Christian faith. It is a tried and tested course having been held in many places in this country and around the world.

This is an opportunity for our church members to bring friends who would like to know more about our faith and indeed anyone who is interested.
We will be meeting on Sunday evenings, with 6 sessions starting on 1st November and then 5 further sessions from 10th January. The sessions in January will include a Saturday away day at Bagley Baptist church. Each session will start with a meal, followed by a film on the subject for the evening and then opportunity for discussion.

There will be further details in September but in the meantime please note the dates, consider joining the course and bringing a friend. Above all we need to be praying for all aspects of this venture.
