Worship for Palm Sunday, 10th April

You are invited to join us for morning worship on Sunday 10th April, Palm Sunday. The service will take place in the Parish Church at 11.00am and will be led by Rev. Phyllis Wilson. Everyone welcome!

Most of the restrictions that have been in place for a while can now be relaxed. However, while there is no longer a requirement to maintain social distancing, we invite those sitting in the side (i.e. east and west) aisles to leave some room for the benefit of those who would prefer a little more space around them.

We also plan to livestream this service on our Facebook page at 11am on Sunday if you can’t be with us in person.

Easter Egg Appeal

A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated chocolate Easter Eggs at our morning worship service on Sunday 3rd April. These have been passed on to our friends at the Bethlehem House of Bread food bank at Cornerstone House for distribution to families where they will be much appreciated. Thanks again!
