We are a very welcoming group who embrace people from a wide variety of backgrounds and a range of countries. All ages are represented, from the very young to the not so young! In any of our worship places, you will find time and space for yourself but also a warm community where we are spiritually fed and learn in the fellowship of one another.

and this information from the Church of England and click here for information from our Diocese.
"These are troubling times. We are sincerely grateful to our clergy and lay officers for sustaining church life and bearing their parishioners’ anxieties as well as their own. We are aware of the plight of those who have to self-isolate and those facing restrictions on movement. We are greatly encouraged by clergy who are responding to the virus in imaginative ways and working constructively with their church councils in planning for an uncertain context over the coming weeks. The pastoral work and community leadership of you our beloved clergy is especially needed in difficult times.
It was times of hardship and exile that gave rise to the Psalter among the ancient People of Israel. You may wish to commend these ancient hymns as daily support for our faithful as we seek to put our trust in God."

Brexit Resources Hub
With the UK due to leave the EU on 31 January 2020, the Diocese in Europe has created a special Brexit Resources Hub on its website with links to the latest official information available, along with public statements by Bishop Robert on the matter.
The webpage was updated in January 2020 to include the European Commission Guidance on Brexit Preparedness.
Click here to find out more.
Bishop Robert writes: “There is more to life than Brexit. We have our faith and families that sustain, nurture and feed us through difficult times. We should keep a sense of perspective and take Brexit a month at a time as a great deal will happen over the next year to shape our relationships with Europe. Let’s encourage one another through it.”
