The way in to this service is through the small door on the left of the church as you are looking from the street.

Our Monday Morning cafe is a friendly social time in the week, it runs fortnightly from 10am - 12pm.
It is run by volunteers from the church and always has an amazing array of cakes, pies, scones as well as tea and coffee. (Everything is £1).
There are always toys and colouring things out for toddlers as well as plenty of space to sit. ​
It is a good place to come and meet new people as well as sit with friends. One of our regulars said ‘My wife had died and I wanted to find more things to do in Windy Nook’ - This is a great place to come if you are lonely, want a chat and a laugh and
want to begin to meet new people.’

We are a happy friendly bunch of ladies, who meet every Monday afternoon at St Alban's between 1pm -3-30pm. We knit, sew,
embroider and cut out for toddler crafts. Best of all we put the world to right. Some of our ladies just come for the social side,
cup of tea,coffee,biscuits and sometimes cake. We share our ideas, helpful if anyone has problems with their craft, and words of comfort when needed.
Our stall at the Christmas Fayre had lots of articles made by our ladies all donated, with money going to church. If you are sitting at home bored or lonely, come along, we would love to see you. It doesn’t matter if you don’t do craft,come for the company and a good natter. All this for a £1 donation much cheaper than Costa Coffee!

We use the Daily Prayer App (available for iOS and Android, check out the link below). We pray for the world, our parishes and other things that need our prayers.
All are welcome to join us, whether you have prayed like this before or not.

All are welcome at the Place of Welcome that happens each Tuesday in St Johns, you will be sure of a warm welcome, drinks, biscuits, cakes (often home made) and home made soup.
We have people who come early and share a coffee and a slice of cake, others who come and stay all morning and then those who come just for their lunch.
All are welcome to join us.
We now have 2 spaces set out for this as the kitchen can occasionally become too full - so if you are someone who wants a quieter space that is on offer as well.
On the last Tuesday of the month at 10.45am we have a time of prayer through our Celtic Worship service which happens in the other small room or in church - all are invited to come along or to stay in the kitchen or back room.
If you have not been along yet do pop in - Shirley and Veda will almost always be on hand to make you a cuppa and serve you cake and soup. Other members of the congregation are often there as well, joining in the conversations, lending an
ear to a problem or sorting out something in church. We often have a member of clergy there as well - so if a chat with them would be helpful just let them know.
If you know someone who is lonely, recently bereaved or just in need of a friend why not bring them along a few times

We aim to make worship accessible to all: and all are welcome. Our worship is lively and maintains an informality throughout.

We offer worship for all ages. Never worry that your children may be a bit noisy – you and they are welcome, and we offer children’s activities as part of our main service as the adults explore how the Bible’s wisdom can address the challenges of our time.

Come and share the Christmas Story through arts, crafts and telling stories.

Join us with friends from Christ Church Felling at the Mallard for festive fun and carols

Informal Christmas carols for everyone with BSL signing.

The third Sunday of every month is special at St Albans, we worship all together as a church family with the church all set up in cafe style tables. There are always activities to do on the tables as well as discussions and time to talk to each other.

These services are great if your new as they are very relaxed and feel different to other Sunday services.

Not only is there fun and chat there is also food! Half way through we share tea and coffee as we have a discussion.
After the service we invite everyone to stay for a shared lunch where people bring food for a shared table (no nuts please). We begin to eat at about 11.45am.

It is also the Sunday when some of us bring Pot Noodles to be given out to the homeless through the Oasis Community Housing drop in

Christingle is a joyful celebration that brings families and communities together to share the light of Jesus and spread a message of hope. Christingle celebrations are named after the Christingles that are lit during the ceremony.
Christingles are oranges wrapped in red tape, decorated with dried fruit or sweets, with a candle on the top.
Each element of a Christingle has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story:
* The orange represents the world
* The red ribbon (or tape) symbolises the love and blood of Christ
* The sweets and dried fruit represent all of God’s creations
* The lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the world, bringing hope to people living in darkness.

Join us as we celebrate Christmas together on this special night

Come and share in our church family celebration.
