Bookings are now being taken – for more information speak to Joan Williams, Jean Bradley or Matthew after this service.

Pancake Social

Come along and have a flipping good time as we prepare for Lent with pancakes, games, races and quizzes.

Ash Wednesday Eucharist with Imposition of Ashes

Wednesday 22 February 2023 at 7.30 pm
