During the winter months, our church community meets in the hall on Sundays at 10.30am

We're a friendly community of people who believe in a loving God and share our faith with others. We've restarted the Ladies Coffee Morning which meets at 10am on a Wednesday during term-time in the church hall (come down the path on the left hand side of the church - there'll be a sign on the gate)

We collec

There’s something lovely about a mid‑week pause with good coffee, gentle conversation, and a friendly smile.

Our Ladies’ Coffee Morning meets in our church hall at 10 a.m. today and everyone is warmly invited.

Whether you come often or haven’t been before, you’ll find a relaxed space to chat, catch up, and enjoy a bit of calm together.

We’d love to see you.

“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad.”
Psalm 126 v 3

Sometimes joy comes not in loud celebration but in quiet remembering, when we pause to notice the faithfulness of God through the years.

Psalm 126 speaks of restoration after sorrow, of laughter returning where tears once fell. It reminds us that gratitude grows best in the soil of memory: when we look back and see how far grace has carried us.

Today, may we rest in that gladness - not because everything is easy, but because the Lord has indeed done great things for us.

"‘Cause all my life you have been faithful
And all my life you have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God."

“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad.”
Today we celebrate our church anniversary with thankful hearts.

This fellowship first gathered in 1813, meeting together in a small room, trusting that God would build his church in this place. By 1816, the church building was raised - a simple, faithful witness to the gospel at the heart of our community.

Across more than two centuries, through seasons of joy and seasons of challenge, one truth has remained constant:
God has been faithful.

Today we give thanks for all he has done - and we look ahead with gladness, knowing he is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Great things he has done. Great things he will do.
To God be the glory.

On Easter morning, everything changes.
The women came to the tomb expecting silence and sorrow and instead found an empty grave and a message that still echoes through history:

“He is not here. He is risen.”

Easter is God’s great declaration that darkness and death doesn’t get the final word.

The risen Christ meets people right where they are in fear, in confusion, in ordinary gardens and locked rooms and speaks peace and forgiveness.

Today we celebrate a love stronger than death, a hope that refuses to be buried,
and a Saviour who is alive and still at work.

May the joy of the risen Christ meet you today, and may his hope rise in you again.

“And we are raised with him
Death is dead, love has won,
Christ has conquered
And we shall reign with him
For He lives, Christ is risen from the dead!”

Happy Easter indeed.

Easter Saturday is the day we rarely linger on. The cross is empty, the tomb is sealed and the world seems to exhale and go back to normal.

But for the disciples, nothing was normal.
Jesus was dead or so they believed.
Their teacher, their hope, their future… gone. They were heartbroken, frightened, and unsure what came next.
All they could do was sit in the ache of it.

And I often wonder about everyone else who had watched him die. Did they talk about it over their Sabbath meals - the darkness at noon, the torn curtain, the way he prayed for his executioners?
Did it trouble them? Did it stay with them?

Easter Saturday is a day of waiting in the dark. A day when God seems silent.
A day when hope hasn’t yet announced itself.

Many of us know that feeling.
The in‑between.
The not‑yet.
The “I don’t know what happens now.”

But even here - in the quiet, in the questions - God is already at work. Resurrection is closer than anyone realises.

May this day remind us that when everything humanly speaking seems finished, God is still writing the story.

Good Friday: when actions spoke louder than words.

Good Friday invites us to pause and look again at the love of Christ.

Here we see a love that goes all the way.
A love that carries what we could and which refuses to let sin or sorrow have the final word.

Good Friday is a day of silence and ache - yet even here, hope is already stirring.
Because the One who was laid in the tomb is the One who will rise.

“By His wounds we are healed.”
May we remember his sacrifice today, and rest in the love that held the Lord Jesus there.

“There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin,
He only could unlock the gates
Of heaven and let us in.”
