A sung friendly service for all the family
Our church gardening group is a welcoming community of volunteers who come together to care for the church grounds, create beautiful green spaces, and enjoy fellowship through gardening. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just getting started, there’s a place for you to help with planting, weeding, pruning, and maintaining our outdoor spaces. Join us as we nurture creation, build friendships, and serve our church and community through the joy of gardening.
Guthlac Gang – Sunday School for 0-11s
Guthlac Gang is our Sunday school group for children aged 0-11, offering a fun and engaging space to learn about God’s love through Bible stories, crafts, songs, and interactive activities. We help children explore faith in a way that’s age-appropriate, encouraging them to grow in their understanding of Jesus while building friendships in a warm and welcoming environment. Whether they’re listening to a story, getting creative, or joining in prayer and worship, every child is valued and encouraged in their journey of faith.
Term Time Only
Join us for our Ash Wednesday Service, a time of reflection, repentance, and renewal as we begin the season of Lent.

An all-age service is a welcoming gathering for all generations, featuring well-known hymns, interactive teaching, and activities to engage everyone. It fosters community and a shared experience of worship and faith.
