Social Calendar
One of the aspirations of our church is to be one big family. Our Social Calendar is available on a tri-fold card in church. It has events every month which variously suit every age and stage of life!
​
You're welcome at everything, whoever you are!
​
Fairs
Each year we hold summer (June) and Christmas (November) fairs. An opportunity to engage with and serve our local community, and perhaps to raise some funds for missions we sponsor.
​
Carols round the Lamp
As Christmas approaches, we spend a family Friday evening in the church grounds singing carols, sharing the Nativity story, munching on mince pies, sipping glühwein or mulled wine, and having fun with the children.. Another chance to engage with and serve our local community.
