We are delighted to welcome you to our morning service in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. If you are a visitor, please make yourself known to the welcome team or the minister.
This Sunday, the morning service will be lead by our Minister Peter Barber, supported by the Ministry and Worship teams, where we will be exploring the theme of "Taste and See." The scripture reading is from Psalm 34.
Our evening service takes place in Saltyard where the theme is "Remember the Sabbath" and the scripture is from Mark 2:23-3:6. We would be delighted to welcome you at 6pm for a time of relaxation with coffee and cake and the service will start at 6.30pm.
