Weekly Notices
Thursday 19th June 2025
As we move through June, there's a real sense of summer beginning to settle in - gardens in bloom, longer evenings, and the gentle winding-down of school terms. This past week has brought with it the usual rhythm of prayer and worship, moments of fellowship, and the quiet acts of service that so often go unseen but deeply matter. Thank you to all who have given time, energy, or encouragement in any form.
Looking ahead, we're beginning to prepare for upcoming summer events - including the "Come & Meet" sessions with David, and plans for a joyful summer concert. As always, there's much to look forward to, and space for everyone to be involved in some way.
May the week ahead bring peace to your heart, purpose to your days, and a deepening awareness of God's presence among us.

Come & Meet
Light Bites & Warm Conversations
We’re holding a series of relaxed “Come & Meet” sessions in August and September. These are informal gatherings over a light bite (Coffee, Lunch or Supper) and are a chance for David to tell you more of his story and to start to explore how God is calling us to be a church at the heart of the community. We’d love you to join us, get to know one another.
Help us give a warm welcome to our new vicar and ask your questions!
