Bringing kids

Kids belong here this week.

Children are welcome at every service, and the Prayground is right in the nave. Holy Saturday at 11 AM is made just for them.

Sunday School & Youth Group

Invite someone

Easter is the easiest Sunday to bring a friend.

If someone you love has been away from church, or never been, this is a good week to ask them to come with you.
