Regular ActivitiesAlpha CourseThis popular course explores the meaning of the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening, low-key way. The course is run once or twice a year, is completely free of charge, and the next one starts TBD. Benefice Home groupsThese informal groups provide a structure in which to meet on a regular basis to listen, discuss and share the reality of living as a Christian in the world today. Groups meet once a fortnight (as shown in the table below). If you would like to join a group, contact the leader, or Martin or James Longe.
