Everyone is welcome to visit us in our new, purpose built United Reformed Church and Community Building. The building is well used in the daytime and in the evenings. There are a variety of user groups including dance, drama, keep fit, Brownies and Guides. At weekends, the premises are often used to celebrate birthdays and wedding anniversaries. And ,of course, the Church sanctuary is well used too  - congregations of between 40 to 60 worship here each Sunday. The church services are varied depending on who is leading the service. Our Minister, Rev Bachelard Kaze Yemtsa, leads two morning services each month. On other Sunday mornings, services are led by lay preachers or ministers from other denominations. On the first Sunday morning the service is led by Val Smith with the older children helping to lead the service with drama, singing, readings etc. Our services are usually lively and interactive. Young children spend the first twenty minutes playing with toys in the corner - and it can be noisy at times!

Come for a cup of tea or coffee on Saturday morning from 9.30 to 11.00 and sample some of our delicious cakes! or come and join in with the many activities that take place in the hall. We would be especially pleased to see you at our Sunday services or at our prayer groups or Bible study groups.
