The Diary page has a list of our services this month, and our News page has a list of events and items of interest.

Children and young people:
On Sunday morning at 10.30, groups run for 3-10's (kidZone) and 11-18's (ViE*) during term time, except on the first Sunday - see below.
On the 3rd Sunday of the month at 6.30, is Ignite for the 11+ age range, bringing together young people from other churches in the town to worship.

Feast@4:
On the 1st Sunday of every month we have a service at 4pm, called feast@4. There are usually activities for the 3 to 10 and 11 to 18 year groups, with food afterwards! All are welcome. The next one is now the first Sunday in August at 4pm.

Prayer:

God the Father, who created the world,
give you grace to be wise stewards of his creation.

God the Son, who redeemed the world,
inspire you to go out as labourers into his harvest.

God the Holy Spirit, whose breath fills the whole of creation,
help you to bear his fruits of love, joy and peace.

Our vision is for a Church that is:

• Is warm welcoming and accessible.

• Draws people to faith in Jesus Christ.

• Throws its doors open to young people (those 19 and under).

• Enables young people to connect with God and get excited about Jesus.

• Encourages young adults and families to be part of a growing Christian community.

• Engages with the issues of the day and strengthens them to live their lives in a network society.
