How to Find More Events and Updates

The homepage includes a "Click Here for more Events" link, which leads to the fuller events listing. For ongoing notices, the site also offers a "Sign up for our Newsletter" option. Checking the Events page or subscribing to the newsletter is the most reliable way to confirm times, locations, and any changes before attending.

Practical Notes Before You Go

  • Confirm the venue for activities where the calendar does not list a location, such as Sunday Worship and Bridge Club.
  • For online sessions like the Zoom Bible study, expect to need the meeting link, which is typically distributed through the Events page or newsletter.
  • Off-site events such as Pint and a Passage require going to the pub rather than the church.
  • The church describes itself as a welcoming, inclusive Anglican community, and its office hours are listed on the site if you need to call ahead.
