Flowers in Church   If you wish to make a donation towards church flowers simply add your name to the list on the notice board inside the concourse doors.  The floral display is an integral part of our worship and at the close of the day the flowers bring cheer and hope to many who are sick or aged and infirm, or to those who have something to celebrate.  If you would like to be part of the flower arranging team please let us know on a Sunday morning.

House Fellowships   It is not always possible, in the context of a church service, to ask questions, discuss the issues that have been raised, share one’s personal needs, or be prayed for.  The house fellowship groups meet monthly, offering friendship and support as needed.
