Maundy Thursday Communion

Martin & Ali’s and Rick and Deb’s Connect Groups are joining together on Maundy Thursday, 17th April, 7pm at The Runway to mark this special moment with a time of reflection and communion. You are all warmly invited to join with them - it will be a very informal gathering, ending around 8pm with an opportunity to share some hot cross buns together. Just turn up and bring hot cross buns to share.

Bring your children, grandchildren and anyone you know with under 12s to our Easter Day Egg Hunt. Sun 20th April, 9:30am. Staying on for the service at 10:30am.

Hope Groups

Real hope is often in short supply today.... but we've found it in community. Hope Groups are primarily for explorers: a space to share life and meet Jesus. They are friendship-based, informal groups, led by Andrew and Rosie Whitman, who love curious people! The next group starts on Tues 22nd April, 7:30pm at The Runway. To find out more, click here.

New Life Groups

New Life Groups are designed for new Christians, or other disciples of Jesus, that would appreciate a journey through key foundational themes. The next course starts on Thur 8th May, 7:30pm (then moves to Tuesdays). For more info and to sign up, click here.

Summer Camp

The Summer camps have been a great time of connection and building community across the church family. We're looking forward to gathering again, without any agenda other than to be together and build friendship.
All details and camping tickets now available: click here for all info. Fri 22nd - Mon 25th August.
