The Christmas season can often be a stressful and busy time - the colder months bringing anxiety to foot the heating bill, the worry of buying presents, and the running around from events/gatherings. This Advent, we're inviting you to pause all of that, and Take Time. Take Time Meditations use relaxation and your imagination to provide a calm, comfortable space to be with GOd. We will be following the same themes, so why not come along to hear these readings in a different light? There is no prior experience necessary, all are welcome to join in. To find out when the Take Time Meditations will be, click here.
All our Churches have other events, services and activities for you to join in with. The highlights can be seen in the images below.
