Sadly, we won't be able to run Messy Church this autumn half-term. We hope all our usual families are doing well and look forward to seeing you again once the coronavirus restrictions are lifted.
We're delighted to say that we'll be open for Sunday morning services from 20th September. It will feel a little different from our normal services as coronavirus restrictions will apply (see below) but it will be great to be back!
