In Person Sunday Worship
We are very excited to be holding in-person meetings again 
(even if our numbers are still somewhat restricted at the moment).
As we see the Coronavirus restrictions easing, vaccinations increasing and transmission and infection rates falling, the elders have decided, in line with the Baptist Union and Government guidance, that the time is now right to re-open our buildings for in-person worship on a Sunday.
After over a year of being unable to meet, it is great to be back. We will be meeting in the sanctuary at 10.30am every Sunday and the service normally finishes at around 11.30am. There are still, however, some restrictions in place and we will adhere strictly to social distancing measure to ensure we minimise the potential spread of the virus and risk to the congregation. Detailed information can be found below.
Children’s and Young People’s groups are also restarting.
Identity, our teenage youth group, is open on Sundays and 
Wednesdays. On Sunday teenagers are welcome to join us for worship and leave the service for their own study just prior to the sermon, normally about 11.00 am. We aim to finish at around about the same time as the main service. On Wednesday Identity is currently open from 7.30pm to 8.30pm (ish) in our youth lounge to the rear of the church. Once again we adhere to social distancing measures.
Sparks is our children’s group. Sparks will restart on 23rd May. On arrival children to be directed by the ‘Welcome Team’ to meet with leader/helper in main reception from 10.20am. Children to remain in their Sparks group for the duration of the service. At the end of the session a leader/helper will bring children back downstairs to be re-united with their parent/carer. Children need to bring their own drink. No biscuits or refreshments will be served during the session.

24/7 Prayer
Many of us are familiar with the 24/7 Prayer Team, led by Pete Grieg. On Sunday, 12 April, they announced they would be joining with the UNITE714 initiative to pray twice a day for the healing of our land, and are encouraging Christians everywhere to do the same.
The initiative is based on 2 Chronicles 7:14 (hence the reference to 714) and the idea is that we set our alarm for 7:14 twice a day, morning and evening, and join in prayer with potentially millions of Christians worldwide.
“It’s time to take God at his word: to humble ourselves, to get our hearts right, to pray for the healing of our lands from the Covid-19 virus – and for an outpouring of God’s spirit in the midst of this crisis.” Pete Grieg
