Table Talk Service - 9:30 - 11:00
Table Talk is our relaxed, engaging Sunday gathering where worship and conversation come together. With a live band leading sung worship, an accessible talk, good coffee/tea cake and plenty of space to explore faith together it’s a brilliant place to connect with God and with one another. There are also groups for children and young people and at the end of the service we finish all together with a short all age communion.

Weddings, Funerals and Baptisms
As a your local Church of England church, we are here to support you through life’s significant moments. Whether reading banns of marriage and celebrating a wedding, giving thanks for a life at a funeral or marking a baptism, we will guide you throughout with care and support throughout the planning process and the service itself.
To enquire or find out more, please contact us via our contact page or email our vicar, Rob.
Summer Holidays
During August, we usually run a reduced timetable. Our regular rhythm of Sunday services pauses and we have short services 10:00 - 11:00am each Sunday run by different team members and guest speakers. We are a small team, mainly made up of volunteers, so this gives us a good opportunity to take a break, recharge and plan for September.
Expect slow replies from the team during this time, thank you for your understanding.
