Weekly Events
Worship & Communion
Join us every Sunday at 11 am for a Worship & Communion service. Experience spiritual renewal as we gather in the presence of God, offering praise, singing hymns, and listening to His word. Communion is a symbolic reminder of Jesus Christ's sacrificial love, where we share in the bread and the cup to renew our commitment to follow His teachings.
Following the service, join us for tea and snacks, creating a warm and welcoming environment for fellowship. All are invited to participate, and we eagerly await the opportunity to draw closer to God and build meaningful connections with one another during this special time.
"Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts." - Colossians 3:16

Prayer & Praise
Tuesdays: 7.30 pm – 8.30 pm
Fortnightly alternating with Bible Study
This takes place in the school room and is an informal opportunity for prayer and praise.
Prayer usually takes place first and is open to anyone who wants to join in.
This is then followed by informal singing.
Sometimes people share their testimony (how they came to be ‘born again’), or there may be an update from a missionary on the work they are doing for the Lord. Other special prayer requests may also be brought to this gathering.
After it, everyone enjoys a cup of tea or coffee and often a piece of cake too.
It is a lovely informal time of fellowship.
‘Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing songs of praise.’
James 5:13 (NKJV)
Bible Study
Tuesdays: 7.30 pm – 8.30 pm
Fortnightly alternating with Prayer & Praise
This takes place in the school room and is an informal opportunity for Bible study.
We are currently studying the book of Romans.
The study adopts a question and answer format so as to encourage everyone to actively think about what the bible is saying, and to ensure that a discussion takes place, rather than a lecture format.
The questions are just a guide to discussion. The more people that join in, the better the study goes. Our aim is to apply the scriptures to our daily life, not just build up knowledge.
After it, everyone enjoys a cup of tea or coffee and often a piece of cake too.
It is a lovely informal time of fellowship.
‘All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.’
2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV)
Friendship Group
Thursdays: 1.00 pm – 4.00 pm
This afternoon is an opportunity for people to get together and have fun.
A variety of games are made available and people are invited to select some to play.
This includes such things as scrabble, up word, snakes & ladders, monopoly etc.
Team games are encouraged too, the favourite of which is ‘disc cricket’ – a bespoke game designed and made by a member of the fellowship.
The Friendship group is a lovely way to get to know people, relax and forget about the stresses and strains of everyday life.
Occasional trips out to places of interest nearby, take place when the weather allows. A voluntary ‘sub’ of £1 each week goes towards the cost of this.
Refreshments are available each week, and there is plenty of opportunity to just chat and catch up if that is desired.
Anyone is welcome.
‘A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.’
Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV)
Sunshine Chapel
Fridays: 6.30 pm – 7.30 pm
Sunshine Chapel offers children and young people an opportunity to learn more about what’s in the Bible. Through it, they will find out about God the Father, Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit and the importance of prayer.
They will be encouraged to sing songs, engage in bible lessons, do quizzes, learn memory verses and participate in crafts and games.
Where possible, bible stories will be taught in small groups so as to enable teaching appropriate to age and ability.
Preschool children are welcome but please could they be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Parents and guardians are welcome too.
All helpers work within the safe-guarding policy of the chapel. If children are unaccompanied, they will need to supply contact details for parents or guardians and details of special needs or food allergies.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
