Hello November

Traditionally, November is a month of remembering. We begin on the first of November by remembering the Saints, all those who have faithfully followed Jesus through the centuries. Then on the 11th November we remember those who have given their lives for freedom in armed conflicts around the world. Then finally at the end of the month advent begins and we remember Jesus’ first coming and that he will come again.

This will be a service of Thanksgiving for all those who serve in our churches as we come to the end of the Church’s year.

Worship during the Week

Jesus called his followers to be disciples, people who are with Jesus through daily prayer and worship, people who become like him through daily reading and reflecting on scripture and people who do as he did by loving our neighbour as ourselves. We cannot do this alone. Find out more about all the ways we support and encourage each other and hear our minister's weekly message.

Small Groups 

A key part of our faith journey is meeting together in small, mid week groups. These groups give us a chance to grow in faith and friendship. In small groups we can encourage and support each other.
