For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Isaiah 9:6

The 4pm service is now booked up, so we are now taking bookings only for an earlier service at 12pm. In order to keep everyone as safe as we can, we ask everyone who wishes to attend to book their seat by contacting Kate Best on 01457 857248 (Monday to Thursday before 9pm only) - or preferably via the church website.  Please book as soon as you can, so that we can provide Christingles and staff for these services as needed.
