UNFORTUNATELY OUR USUAL SUNDAY SERVICES AND MIDWEEK GATHERINGS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. PLEASE LOOK ON OUR HOME PAGE FOR INFORMATION ON THE SERVICES DUE TO TAKE PLACE EACH SUNDAY.
Christ Church
Sundays:-
- 8am : said Holy Communion with short sermon

Church of the Good Shepherd
Sundays:-
- 9.30am : Family Communion, lasting about 1 hour 15 mins.
On the second Sunday of each month, our 9.30am service is Cafe-style worship including communion. This is a more informal service where we worship around tables. Breakfast is served from 9am.
Special Services
During the year we hold several extra services, some of which are joint services with both churches attending, and some with our neighbours at the United Reformed Church on Mount Road.
The local schools also hold end-of term and special services at various times of the year at Christ Church.

House and Prayer Groups
Many of our congregation participate in one of the many House Groups on offer. This is an excellent way to get to know other members of the church, and new members are always very welcome.

There is also a weekly Prayer Lunch (bring your own lunch!) held in the Jubilee Rooms at Christ Church. For details of planned Prayer Lunches during February, March and April, please click here.
