Some of our groups and activities, however, continue to meet online, so do check in with group leaders for details, and our Sunday sermon and prayers will continue to be available online - this week the topic is Entrusted with Talents

As we face another spell of lockdown, we wanted to create some space for people to share the highs and lows of lockdown and to have the opportunity to pray for each other.

It will be fairly informal and anyone is welcome to come along, so do contact us if you want details of the Zoom link.

In the meantime, bear with us, and check out the regular sermons etc. that are posted online.

1 July: COVID-19 Update

Activities at our church premises remain suspended because of the current coronavirus situation. As lockdown eases, we will be reviewing new government guidance, alongside advice from the Baptist Union of Great Britain, to decide when it is safe and practical to restart some activities at the church. At the moment we don't know when that will be, and in what form that will take, as it is unlikely that we will be able to return to 'normal' for a while yet. This page will be updated once any firm decisions are made.
