Groups which regularly use our buildings are listed below in day of the week order, starting with Sunday. Please click the sign next to the name to find out more about each activity.
We meet in the Carter room and pray for those in our fellowship, for the service of worship that is about to take place and for issues and concerns going on in the community and the world.
Family Worship. We have a Holy Communion service 1st Sunday of the month.
P3 are our teens and young adults group who meet in the lounge and have a relaxed service. P3 stands for ‘ping pong praise’ and yes, ping pong does sometimes feature!.
Messy Church is about all ages (young and old!) having fun. Messy Church is an opportunity for families to come to church once a month on a Sunday afternoon. We meet from 4.00 – 6.00pm on the 4th Sunday of every month and all ages are welcome. During the 2 hours we participate in lots of fun activities involving craft, art, junk modelling, games etc, a short time of informal worship with a story & songs based on a monthly theme and at the end a meal where everyone eats together. We charge £1 per child to cover our costs and all children must be accompanied by an adult.

Lantern Table Tennis Club
Although our club’s prime purpose is to provide an opportunity for slightly more mature folk to rekindle dormant and/or rusty table tennis skills, it has also developed into a very happy, friendly and mutually supportive group, where much chat (sometimes trivial and sometimes serious) goes on between games over cups of coffee. The current membership numbers about 12 and ranges in age from early 60s to nearly 90.
We are always happy for anyone to drop in on a Wednesday morning – whether to see if they too have adequate hand-eye coordination to play a reasonable game or, if not, just for a cup of coffee whilst being entertained by watching others burning off a few calories.
