A note about online worship: we are rejigging this for 2026. The current plan is to move from weekly online services to holding them over particular seasons of the church year - over the weeks of Lent through to Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday; thereafter, on a roughly monthly basis - and also tying in with various special services [Pentecost, Harvest, Remembrance]; we then circle back to the beginning of the church year with online Advent through Christmas worship. Links will be provided on the home page. This may change, subject to feedback - which is always welcome.
