We have returned to worship as a community in our church, and would be pleased to welcome you. If you would like to join us on zoom, please contact us through email address below. Alternatively, you can worship at your own time on Sunday, using the provided Order of Service and Sermon.
Worship is at the heart of Christian community; worship in contemporary language that is joyful, relevant and reflects the long traditions of the church. We embrace both traditional and new ways and times of worship.

The main service for the week includes prayer, scripture reading, a relevant message and joyful singing led by the choir and pipe organ. Members of the congregation participate in leading aspects of the service. All are welcome to attend.
Holy Communion is celebrated on the 1st Sunday of the month. We practice an open table and welcome all people.
There are many styles of worship. This quarterly all age service offers a way for everyone to connect with the themes and ideas of the day in small activity groups. These groups create items for use in future services.
This informal midweek service includes responsive prayers, reflective liturgy and conversation about the day’s scripture. Come along, this is a great way to begin the day or connect with God in the midst of a busy week. Enjoy coffee or tea and a friendly chat afterwards.
Sunday worship includes time for children, sometimes with ‘Godly Play’, then the children move to Sunday School. The program uses the UCA’s ‘Seasons of the Spirit’. As our young folk mature and grow in faith their discussions become more discerning and enriching.
