Along with many churches, we will take time over these days of mourning to look back with great gratitude for her late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, and her life of service and dedication; to pray for all who grieve in the present; and to look forward with hope, in particular praying for the King and his family as they step into their new roles and callings.
We will continue to meet for services at St Nicholas’ Church at 1030 on Sundays, other services will be announced in due course.

It’s been a while… apologies! And even though it is short notice, you are all welcome to attend St Nicholas’ Church tomorrow (Sunday) at 1030 for a service of thanksgiving for the Queen. All are welcome! If you are able to come, there will be a ‘bring-and-share’ lunch afterwards - do feel free to come along and join in...

If you can’t come, whatever you are doing, may you know God’s blessing upon you and those you love, and may the Queen’s example of dedication and hope inspire us and her faith encourage each of us to want to know more of the God she loves and trusts.

Another reminder that all are welcome to join us to celebrate Easter Day tomorrow!!!

For the keen - we will be meeting at 0600 to welcome the day down by the picnic benches near the water by the church (and enjoying some hot cross buns...).
And then later at 1030 for a family service (with some more hot cross buns after the service!)...

If we don't see you - on behalf of the church may I wish you, and those you love, every blessing this Easter!

It was good to be able to gather and pray for Ukraine at the same time as so many around the world. If you were not able to join us, you are more than welcome to take time to visit the church and light a candle should you wish to do so. Or pray at home…
