Our morning series from now until December 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 story as it unfolds in different parts of the Bible. 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 evening series from now until December is ‘Real faith, real lives’, which will take us through the New Testament letter 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.

Cornerstone is our coffee shop, which can be found in the Parish Hall.

Cornerstone Coffee Shop is open 10 a.m. - 12 noon on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Thursday in the Parish Hall.

Cornerstone provides a great place to relax, chat, meet old friends and make new ones. Drop in for a snack and a drink - including a delicious Latte or Cappuccino from our 'bean to cup’ coffee machine - or, on Thursdays, for a light lunch. You're sure of a warm welcome.

Our Family Light Party - Celebrate Light, Celebrate Life - takes place on Tuesday 31st October, 4.00 - 6.00 at St Martin's, with games, activities, food and fun for all the family. This free event celebrates Jesus, the Light of the World and focuses on 'treats' not 'tricks', 'light' not 'darkness'.  Everyone is welcome.  There's no need to book.  Just turn up on the day.  You can download a copy of the invitation postcard here.

During term time, we run several groups for pre-school children with their parents and carers.

Light Break Café (8.45-10.00) and Baby Playtime (10.00-11.30) take place at St Martin’s in Mill Road. Take-a-Break (10.00-11.30) meets at the Parish Hall, opposite Boots, in Church Street, while Take-a-Break Too (10.00-11.30) takes place at St Martin’s in Mill Road.
