✨ You’re warmly invited to The Ark this Sunday ✨

Join us for our final Advent service as we pause, breathe, and prepare our hearts for the joy of the season.

Expect a welcoming space, meaningful reflection, familiar carols, and that unmistakable sense that Christmas is drawing very near (the good kind of near – not the last-minute-shopping kind 😉).

Whether you come every week, haven’t been for a while, or are simply curious, you will be very welcome. Bring a friend, bring the family, or just bring yourself.

📍 The Ark
🕊️ This Sunday at 10.30am

We’d love to see you there.

We have teamed up with Barchester Care Home to mark World Music Day by dancing to music from across the world.

What’s amazing is that not only family members and friends can attend but everyone from the public is welcome to enjoy the joyous day.

Join us to enjoy some of the best music globally but especially the friendly and fun atmosphere.

We thank home for opening their doors to the public and giving us the platform.

We also thank for the continued support and a big thank you to .360org for funding the project.

The Ark is an Eco-Church and we hold the Bronze Award from A Rocha UK We are happy to share this important post from A Rocha UK about the Climate and Nature Bill:

It’s vital that we stand up for nature and act on its behalf. The Climate and Nature Bill is heading for its Second Reading in Parliament on 24 January 2025.

This is a golden opportunity; the Bill is the only proposed legislation before the UK Parliament that ensures a comprehensive and joined-up approach to the climate emergency and nature crisis 🌍

Add your support by writing to your MP asking them to back the campaign, or congratulating them if they already have – and to show up and vote for the bill on 24 January. Encourage your church, friends, and family to write to their MP too.
