Latest News
Both of our churches are now open again, and from Sunday 16th May, all of our usual services will be resuming.
The pattern for Morning Prayer will remain different to usual, with Morning Prayer being on Zoom on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and said in St John's on Wednesdays and All Saints' on Thursdays.
Apart from this, our services are now as advertised on the Regular Services page of this website.
During the ten days between Ascension Day (13th May) and Pentecost (23rd May),
we will be keeping the season of Thy Kingdom Come,
and will be praying together for a few minutes on Zoom each evening at 6.30.

Our two churches not only have a vast amount of history between them, having stood witness to over five hundred years of history, they are also places of vision and hope for a future for the communities that they serve.
They are first and foremost churches; places where we meet to give glory to God, to share in His grace freely given to us, to hold in our prayers the cares and concerns of His world, and to welcome all who come to join us.
Through history, churches have been places of refuge, places of safety, places of love, and places of community. We aim to continue this tradition in our two churches, and to be present in the communities that we serve, providing a constant invitation, welcome, support and love as we grow in our Christian faith and mission.
I hope that you find what you are looking for on this website, and whether you are interested in history, community activities, a wedding, a baptism, or joining us for one of our regular services, I hope that you find the invitation here and feel encouraged to come and meet us soon in person.
If you have any questions, please contact me by email, or click here for my other contact details, and I look forward to welcoming you soon.
With love in Christ,
Fr. Tim Stevens
