A Warm Hello
We're very glad you've found us! The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect if you come along for worship.
Our Services
Our services are mostly celebrations of the Eucharist (also called the 'mass' or 'holy communion'). This is the service going back to the time of Jesus when He took bread and wine at the Last Supper and told his disciples to do this to remember Him.

Weekends
We meet at St Laurence's Church (details here) for our family friendly Saturday Service starting at 5.00pm (with contemporary music) and on Sundays at 9am. We also have a more traditional service on Sundays at 11am.
Weekdays
We meet a number of times through the week with the Eucharist celebrated at St Laurence's as follows:
-
Monday 6.15pm
-
Tuesdays and Fridays at 12.15pm
-
Thursday 12.15pm (1st Thursday Healing Mass 6.15pm)
We also have a service at St Peter's on Wednesdays at 10am
Although we have no parking on site there are many car parks nearby with one directly opposite the church building.
Refreshments: We serve refreshments after the 9am and 11am services on a Sunday (and on special occasions there's hot chocolate following the Saturday 5pm service). It is a great way to meet people, or simply get to know something about us. All refreshments are free.
Also during the week our Taste Cafe is open before and after the 12.15pm midweek services - why not stay after the service and have some lunch?
Getting Connected
Church Groups
While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out the 'Church Life' section of our website and see if there’s one that you would like to join.
Serving and Volunteering
If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team.
