Welcome to our services today. We hope that you will find warmth and
friendship in this place and God’s blessing and peace as we worship.
At our Communion services, all are invited to come forward to receive bread
and wine. If you would prefer to receive a blessing, simply keep your head
bowed when you come to the front. If you require a gluten free wafer,
please let a Welcomer know.
There are toys for young children at the back. For 4-11 year olds, Junior
Church usually takes place in the vestry during the 10am service.
