All women over 16 are welcome to come along to this relaxed evening of conversation and friendship, and to bring their friends. There is a suggested donation of £3 for this event, which includes cheese, crackers, soft drinks and one glass of wine. You are welcome to bring your own wine as well. Find our more or sign-up here or contact us for more information.

Our new morning series is ‘God’s Big Picture’; an overview of the whole Bible and the one storyline that runs through it all.  We'll be following the series at 9.00 and 10.45 at the Parish Church and at 10.30 at St Martin's as we explore the relevance of different parts of the Bible to us as Christians today. Our small groups will also be linking in to this series, so please contact us if you are not yet in a small group and would like to join one. If you miss a Sunday morning or small group session, you'll be able to catch up using the video clips on www.godsbigpicture.co.uk or by listening to our podcasts.

Our new evening series is ‘Real faith, real lives’, which will take us through the book of James to show us what real Christian faith looks like and how it connects with our day-to-day experience, as we live distinctively for Jesus. We'll be following the series at Sunday@Seven (7.00 p.m. in the Parish Church) and you'll find a warm welcome there.  But, if you can't make it every week, you'll be able to catch up by listening to our podcasts.

The Parish Church is open daily from about 9 a.m. until about 5 p.m. and everyone is welcome.

The chapel provides a quiet place for prayer, with simple prayer ideas to help everyone use the space. There are oppotunities to pray, or to leave a prayer request, thanksgiving or remembrance. The whole church is accessible, except the tower. The tower is open Monday-Friday (10.30-4.30) and Saturday (11.00-4.00) until Saturday 28th October. We make a small charge for climbing: £1.50 for adults and 50p for children (under-fives are free). The tower is closed on Sundays.
