Happy Friday!
One of our youngest church members was completely absorbed in our Pentecost campfire last Sunday.

We love that children don't have to wait until they're grown up to belong in church. They are welcome here exactly as they are – exploring, wondering, playing, praying and discovering God alongside the rest of us.

Whatever your age, we'd love to welcome you this Sunday.

9am in St Andrew’s
11am in St Anne’s

Happy Friday Everyone 😎
The sunshine has definitely lifted spirits today! If you still need some spiritual refreshment on Sunday, we’d love to welcome you to church whether you come every week or haven’t been in a while. You can join us at 9am in St Andrew’s or 11am in St Anne’s.

Happy Friday!

We absolutely love having children in church. Their laughter, questions, creativity and enthusiasm bring so much life and joy to our Sundays - and they genuinely enjoy being part of it too.

If you’ve been thinking about trying church as a family, you’d be very welcome.

Join us this Sunday at 9am in St Andrew’s, or
11am in St Anne’s.

We nearly missed it… Happy Friday!
We can’t promise there will be an indoor fire pit at our Sunday services, but we can promise that they will be a good space to be yourself and explore questions about faith.
Join us in St Andrews at 9am or St Anne’s at 11am.
