God, Jesus and the journey of life in six sessions.

A fast-paced, interactive exploration of the Christian faith.

In six lively sessions we look at:

LIFE - what's it all about and where are we going?

GOD - does he exist and, if so, what is he like?

MESS - why is the world - and all of us - so messed up?

JESUS - who was is he, and how can he be relevant today?

CROSS - what can the death of Jesus mean for us now?

ONWARDS - how can I go forward with God in my life?

If you have got any questions about life and the Christian faith and are looking for answers then why not "Make a Start!"?

Each session involves DVD clips, fun exercises, group discussion and time for reflection. Each session lasts about an hour and is free.

The course will begin on Thursday 23rd of January 2025 and continues on the following five Thursdays, 30th January, 6th February,13th February, 20th February and 27th February..

The course meets at 7.00pm in the Village Hall at Sutton (SG19 2NE), with a meal, before starting at 7.30pm

Traditional service of Holy Communion with organ and robed choir.

Please bear with us as we make preparations to provide a variety of services across the age range, as we come out of lockdown.

Our "Shorter Communion Service": a simpler, guided service of Holy Communion lasting less than an hour. It may be particularly helpful to those new to church or unsure of church practices and traditions. Children are most welcome and will receive a Treasure Box to help them follow the service.

We restarted this service on 18 September 2022 and is proving a great success and we hope to develop it more as part of the Mission Action Plan
