Did you know we don't only hold Sunday morning Church services?
Tomorrow, Saturday 5th October (on the first Saturday morning of the month) we will host Coffee and Chat in Christ Church.

This is a chance to buy a hot drink, and cake, and socialise.
The Church opens at 10am, and closes at Noon.
Everyone is welcome, whether you just fancy a chat, are using it as an excuse to see the inside of the Church, or you're just killing time waiting for your child's activity to finish!

Also this coming Friday, 11th October, we are holding a Pet Blessing Service at 4.30pm.

If you have a beloved pet or are mourning the loss of one, do come and receive a blessing for your pet.
Please be aware: all animals must be securely transported and managed at all times.

One event we hold annually is called Prayer and Painting.

We focus on a Bible reading or Christian teaching whilst creating art linked to the topic; in 2024 we focussed on Adam and Eve.
