There are so many ways that you can be involved in hospitality, service and giving within our congregation and community! The only step to get involved is asking or being asked. So, please let our admin know if you want to do more (or less), drop David an email and he will make sure that it lands on the right persons inbox!

If you would like to give regularly, but forget cash almost as regularly. You can set up a direct transfer from your account to ours using the details listed at the top of this page. Just put ‘offering’ in the description and we will make sure it gets allocated to the offering each week.
