This Sunday - 2nd June

31 May 2019

This Sunday we have our annual Children's Day and Church Pic Nic - with our service beginning at 11am. As ever we look forward to the children from Prime Time and Beginners' Sunday School leading us through our service. This service is very much 'all age' though we will have a supervised creche running throughout.

Our Pic Nic will be outside (if dry) and inside (if wet)!

Then at 7pm we gather for June's Prayer Central - opportunity to pause and seek God's leading and presence in all that is to come in the month ahead.

You will be very welcome!
