Our Church building has a loop system.

A toilet can be found to the right at the back of the church. It has baby change facilities and disabled access.

Please remember to switch your mobile phone to silent.

Please join us for refreshments after the service. We’d love to meet you!

If you are new to the church, do fill in one of our “Welcome” cards, which you will find at the back of the church.

A prayer group meets to pray on the mezzanine half an hour before each service. Please feel free to join them.

Children: During our All Age Service everyone is invited to participate together throughout the service. However if your child is getting restless and needs more space to run around in, please feel free to use our welcome area, where there is a small supply of toys.

Questions? Our wardens, Judith Moffat and Julie Graham are always happy to help if you have any questions.
