Services for Sunday 25th July - 8th After Trinity
8.00am - Holy Communion. A quiet, traditional service without hymns, conducted by Revd Mark Rudall.
10.00am - Parish Communion. Revd Mark Rudall will be leading our morning service.
6:30pm - Cell Church - our informal youth-run service for those who wish to experience a more informal style.
This month's Cell service will be different as we will be showing the DVD of Rob Bell's one man show "The gods aren't angry". Rob Bell is and American speaker who is famous for the Nooma DVD's and is an inspirational speaker who uses his formidable biblical knowledge to challenge the post-modern worldview. So bring a cushion and prepare yourselves to be challenged and inspired. Please note that this service will not be suitable for children under 12.
See here for more information about the different services.

Sunday Club will run throughout the summer - We will be running special sessions looking at many of our favourite Bible stories.

Lots of crafts and games to help bring the stories alive.
