Bible Book Club, Wednesdays, 4.00pm
A Book Club with a difference! It’s reading the Bible – and the rule is – only people who don’t go to church are allowed to attend!
We will be looking at a chunk of the Bible each week, and then discussing the questions that it raises for those who come.
Everyone is welcome – and if you’d like to join us, please contact Gill Rowell, our vicar, who will be leading the sessions, or email us here. They are fun, thought provoking and real.
For the 10am Service on Sunday 30th January, we invite you to bring your own Songs and Words of Praise.
Come ready to share a Bible verse or passage, hymn, song or poem!
The service will start with a short, spoken service of Holy Communion, after which we invite you to contribute a Bible reading, poem, or choose a Hymn or song from Songs of Fellowship – saying why it is special to you!
Our Songs of Fellowship books 1-3 will be available, bit if it’s not in that book, just let us know beforehand and our musicians are willing to give most songs a good try.
As it is also Leprosy Sunday, we will also be showing a short video; and Chris Stratta from the Leprosy Mission will be coming to update us on progress later in the year.
Pick and Mix – our youth group for 11-18 year olds is restarting 14th January with a games evening at the Vicarage.
If you are 11-18 and want to join us we would love to have you.
Details of our Spring Term plans are below.
For more information please e-mail us.

Please join us for our Nativity Service at 10am on Sunday 19th.
It will be a tongue-in-cheek retelling of the Nativity story, through which we hope to find some fresh meaning in a familiar story. Everyone is welcome, young and old alike.
For practical reasons, this service will not be livestreamed. Instead we point our livestream viewers to our evening service of Nine Lessons and Carols at 7pm, which will be livestreamed.
