We have a worship group which meets regularly and helps steer the path the worship should follow. All are welcome to join and participate in this group. Throughout the year there are special family services eg. easter, harvest thanksgiving, thinking day (for local young uniformed groups), Christmas, and many more. Communion is also taken on a regular basis. | |||
