Sunday Services – update
From this Sunday, Rev Nigel is back with us we and are going to be using Zoom to broadcast our Sunday services at 10.30am. The login details are below. We hope that as many of you as possible will join us as it will be good to see some faces whilst we are physically unable to meet in the church due to the COVID restrictions. There will be a time for some chat after the service is finished. We hope to have a recording available which will be available to view afterwards via the website. It may also be available to view live on YouTube via our live website page – still to be confirmed.
