SUNDAY SERVICE
Join us in St Helen’s Church for our All Age Communion Service at 10am. If you can’t join us in church, please join us online.  Click here or on the image above for the YouTube link.
LENT COURSE 2025
This year, we are offering six, 90-minute weekly sessions of the excellent course “On Purpose” by the LICC (click here to find out more) during Lent. Over 40 days, we get to grips with the Bible’s view of purpose, and read true stories of how that purpose is worked out in all kinds of Christians’ lives today. Each week, we explore a different theme:
  1. Purpose in work
  2. Purpose in family
  3. Purpose in friendship
  4. Purpose in our interests
  5. Purpose in our neighbourhoods

Finally, in Holy Week you’ll prepare for Easter with an examination of how Jesus reveals his true purpose in the days before his crucifixion. This journey comes with small group questions and videos to prompt discussion around each week’s theme. Please join us!

To sign up, please complete this online form or pick up a paper copy from the back pew in church.

“I Made You Wonderful”

Psalm 139:14

Friday 7th March

Each one of us was made with care and love by God. This year, the World Day of Prayer focuses on how we receive this truth and learn how to treat every other person as made wonderful by God.
