We are a friendly and vibrant village church. You are very welcome to join us at any of our services.

On the first, third and fifth Sundays of the month:

10am Holy Communion service with Sunday School for primary aged children.

On the second Sunday of the month:

All-age Holy Communion where all ages worship together.  There may be a drama, an interactive presentation rather than a sermon, percussion instruments for all who want to accompany our singing and colouring pictures.

On the fourth Sunday of the month:

10am with food served from 9.45am Cafe Church.  A friendly, relaxed and informal time where we worship, learn about our faith, talk to each other and there maybe a simple activity that we can all join in.  For all ages.

11.30am Holy Communion. A service with a sermon but without hymns, using the traditional language Common Worship service.

Wednesdays, 9am: Celtic Prayer in the Church Room

Thursdays, 7pm: Telephone Service
