We are planning a series of 10am Open Air services during July and August (weather permitting) at St Catherine’s every Sunday.

We’d love you to join us. Families very welcome!

We are continuing our poplar series of Bible courses on Wednesday evenings at 7:45pm via Zoom.
We’re starting a new short series, so if you’ve wanted to join, but were worried about starting part way through something, now is a perfect time to join us.
The format is a welcome, a prayer, a short video, followed by discussion and finishing with a prayer. No expertise necessary!
If you would like to join us please contact us so that we can email you the joining details.

Starting on Wednesday 9th June, we will be launching a traditional Holy Communion Service, in person, in Church.
This will take place weekly at 9:00am – although plans may change when we can use the Garden Room again and relaunch our Thursday Noon Service.
Absolutely Everyone Welcome.

Following up on our recent Bible courses we will be having a one off Zoom Bible Study looking at the word ‘Witness’ in the scriptures.
The evening will follow a similar structure to our previous Bible courses (i.e. a video to get us thinking and then a discussion time).
We’ll be meeting at 7.45 on Wednesday 9th June on Zoom. If you would like to join us please contact us so that we can email you the joining details.

Thy Kingdom Come is a worldwide prayer initiative beginning on Ascension Day (Thursday 13th May) running through until Pentecost (Sunday 23rd May). We have taken part in this for the past few years, and for obvious reasons, like last year, everything will be done on-line.
A short video will appear on our Facebook site every morning. In addition to an Ascension day Morning Prayer service on Thursday, there will also be our ‘At Home’ Morning Prayer services on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the usual time of 10.00 am. As usual, they will be live-streamed via Facebook and also available here.
You may like to visit the Thy Kingdom Come website (click here) for further information and prayer resources. In particular, you may wish to download the Prayer Journal from here.
