Welcome to our on-line Worship Portal!
Here you can find links to all our online services which are taking place whilst our church buildings are closed due to the COVID-19 situation. Rev’d John will conduct these services at the stated times – you are encouraged to play them at said times, so in essence the worship is live, though you are also welcome to take part at your convenience. You may wish to ‘phone a friend’ and allow them to join in the worship with you if they don’t have access to modern tech or gadgets (use loudspeaker on your phone for best results).
