New Service – 11am
We’re please to announce our new, informal service for the whole family, from Sunday 9th June at 11am.
As previously announced, the congregation from Cornwell Community Church are joining us to start this new service.
It’ll be the same time as Cornwell (11.00 am), with the same style of service (very informal), the same group of people (all ages, with several young people in our music group), the same great music and the same refreshments (fresh coffee and cakes).
As before we aim to make our service accessible for everyone and we are accepting and understanding of people with special needs.
We hope to see you there !
