Our Friendship café, The Hope café, continues to meet on Tuesdays during school term-time. 
This is intended as place where anyone in the community can drop-in for tea or coffee and a chat. All are welcome. We will be operating in a covid safe manner and ask people to wear masks while moving around but not while seated, eating and drinking. For more information about Hope Café please follow the link.
We no longer operate a booking system for our services and seating is available on a first come first served basis. To join our service online please follow the link to our latest posts.
As before the pandemic we appreciate that households and family groups will want to sit together. We also recognise that many worshippers are still cautious in these uncertain times and may want to maintain a safe social distance from others. In light of various concerns raised we will continue to practice consideration for our fellow worshippers through good hygiene procedures. Therefore, for now we will continue to wear face masks, use hand sanitiser on entry and exit, maintain safe social distancing BUT we will be sing again. Please also respect that others may be more cautious than you and give them space and time.
