Two days to go - and we have a wonderful weather forecast. If you can see this, you're invited - please come!

It has been lovely to see new people in the congregation who have come along after receiving our newspapers. There's always room for more!
We have a weekend of special meetings next weekend, but our services are always open to everyone - if you can't make it next weekend, come along the week after!

It's less than 2 weeks now until our anniversary weekend. We've got something happening for everyone - a men's breakfast on the Saturday morning, an all-ages barbecue and garden party on the Saturday afternoon, then two special services on the Sunday. Everyone is welcome, whether you've been to church before or not. A crèche is provided for preschool children at all our church services. Please do get in touch, or just come along to one of our meetings - we would love to meet you.

Copies of our new church history book are now available to buy! Cost £4. If you don't live close enough to collect in person, postage and packaging is an extra £2 - please drop us a message to let us know where you would like us to send the book, and to get details of how to pay. Thanks!

The church newspapers started going out to homes yesterday. Have you had yours yet? Let us know if you've had one!

Have you ever wondered how God can be good in a world of suffering? Come along on Sunday 30th June at 10.30 a.m. to hear what the Bible says about it.

Over the last 225 years our church has had 15 pastors. TEN of them share just 4 surnames. Can you guess what those surnames are? #churchhistory #funfactfriday

There is no Men's Breakfast tomorrow, but we will be holding one on Saturday 29th instead. All men are welcome - put the date in your diary, and invite your brothers, sons, dads and friends to come with you!
