Join us for a gentle and meaningful start to the day.
This informal service is led by lay members of our community (with a priest occasionally joining us). It has a relaxed and approachable atmosphere where all are made welcome, no matter your background or experience.
Our readings follow the Lectionary, allowing Scripture to guide our time together. The service includes Bible readings, spoken and silent prayer, with time and generous space for quiet or silent contemplation amid the busyness of life.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful pause, a sense of connection, or simply a place to begin your day in prayer, you’re warmly invited to come as you are.
All are welcome.

Mainly
Music
Wednesday, 11th February 2026 at 10:30 am
Mainly Music is a much-loved, friendly program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers (typically 0–5 years) and their parents or caregivers. Each session is filled with joyful music, singing, dancing, movement, stories, and play—designed to create special shared moments of delight, connection, and learning in a warm, accepting environment.
It’s a wonderful opportunity for young children to explore rhythm, sounds, and actions together with their grown-ups, while building friendships and enjoying quality family time.
Please contact Jill or keep an eye on our Facebook page/newsletter. We look forward to welcoming new and returning families!
