  • THIS MONTH
  • Weekday Communion

    Holy Communion is now held weekly in St Ben’s on Fridays at 10am. Please join us if you can.

    St John’s also has a weekly Holy Communion service on Wednesdays at 10am.

  • Celtic Communion Service on Sunday 24th

    This coming Sunday, our Pioneer Minister, Diana, will again be leading us and celebrating Communion in a service of Celtic Worship at 11am. As before, the service will be held in the round with our seats circling the altar table in middle of the nave. We’ve found that sitting in this way feels inclusive and matches the form and words of the service.

  • Saturday Afternoon Tea and Board Games

    Following the popularity of the Summer Saturday Afternoon Cream Teas in July and August, the church is now opening from 2pm to 4pm on Saturday afternoons. It’s a time for everyone to enjoy sitting around drinking tea or coffee and eating cake, with the opportunity of playing cards or board games, doing jigsaws or just chatting.
