As we begin the next century of witness – at least until the Lord returns – we seek to develop channels of communication. They include social media.

Schedule of meetings

Sunday morning worship is at 11 am and is normally a one hour service. On the first, third and fifth Sundays of the month it may be a little longer because there is included the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. (It is an open Table.)

There is a regular prayer meeting and Bible study meeting, details of which are announced on Sundays.

A monthly coffee morning was suspended during the pandemic.
