Help Fill Our Hamper!

This year, we shall be holding our annual summer fair on Saturday 22 June. 

This is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year and helps to support the running of our church and enable our work in the community.

Our hamper raffle is always popular so we should be grateful if you would pick up something to put in it next time you are out shopping.

Passiontide Concert: Thank You

Our evening of Music and Poetry for Passiontide was a huge success.

An enthusiastic audience delighted in music ranging from Tallis to Whitaker while enjoying wine and savoury platters prepared by Kathryn Newell.

An enormous thank you to everyone who organised, performed at and attended this event.
