Sundays 9.50am - prayers for the church and community

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.

Sundays from 10.30am - Family Worship

Family Worship. We have a Holy Communion service 1st Sunday of the month.

Sundays (4th Sunday of the month) 4-6pm - Messy Church

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 accept donations to cover costs and all children must be accompanied by an adult.

Tuesdays 10.30am to noon - Tuesday Toddlers

Every Tuesday during term time from 10.30am – 12pm.
This group welcomes Parent/Carers and their children aged 0-4years old. To make new friends over tea/coffee and biscuits, while their children play happily with the toys. Please phone Maria on 0208 467 8121.

Tuesdays 2.00-4.00pm - Mixed Bowls
Wednesdays 10.00am - Table Tennis Club

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.

Wednesday evenings - Girls Brigade
