Exploring Faith
There are so many ways to explore and discover faith. In addition to our regular worship, we meet in groups throughout the year to talk about our faith and explore new ideas.
Advent & Lent Reflections
We hold Advent & Lent reflections each year. Dates will be published in the Diary and Magazine.

In 2015 we took a different tack, asking the question 'WHY?'
- Why should we read the Bible?

- Why should we pray?

In 2014 we explored 'Questions Jesus asked' and looked at Jesus's questions of:

- Why do you call me Lord?
- Why do you look at the speck in others eyes?
- Why are you so afraid?
- Why have you forsaken me?
