When you leave a church service would you usually shake the hand of the Minister and thank him for the service? If so, please encourage our ministers and the team, by clicking on the Thumbs Up / LIKE icon for the video. This also helps our videos to be promoted to others, and spreads the word of God.
You can also leave a brief message in the comments below each video, but PLEASE don’t forget that literally EVERYONE worldwide can see this, so don’t make any personal comments, or refer to people in a way that risks their privacy in any way.

We hold a mid-week Reflections Service on Zoom on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. We normally gather from 11am and start worship at 11.15am. BUT the November service is on 11th November, so we will gather at 10.45am so we can be ready to observe the silence at 11am. Again anyone from the Circuit is most welcome to join us – just email as above for a Zoom invite.
