A word from our Minister
"We are an active church that seeks to discover God at work in our lives and in the lives of others.

Through worship, learning, caring, service and in sharing the love of Jesus, we look to become His disciples. We are active as Christians in the local community and many groups find a home in our wonderful modern premises.

Whether you are visiting us through the website or at the church itself, we pray that you will glimpse something of the life we share in Christ, and that you may share that life too."

Our Focus this Month
30 Years on . . .

This month we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the extended sanctuary, the Dovetail Café, which in those days was known as the Coffee Room, and other rooms, including those upstairs, that were added in September 1993. Those of us who were around at the time remember the excitement generated by this huge project and the busy time we all had in fundraising.

It was called the ‘Dovetail Project’ as, using the image of the dovetail carpentry joint, we intended to develop further our links with our local community. Over the past 30 years, we have welcomed into our premises various community groups who hold their meetings here. Many people have discovered the Dovetail Café as somewhere warm and friendly where they can enjoy a hot drink and meet old and new friends, six mornings a week.

We are holding a special service at 11am on 24 September to acknowledge the good work that has happened over the past 30 years. Do come along!

It is also the launch date of the next project: 30 Years On. Following our purchase of more solar panels to pursue our eco-friendly agenda, we also need to replace our ageing heating system and install better controls both to reduce costs and to use less fossil fuel.

This is a huge project and over the next few years will also include a lift to allow access to the upper rooms for those who cannot manage the stairs. Once again we will be involved in fund raising events and in seeking grants. We’d appreciate your support!
