• after the service we have the opportunity to spend time together as a church family having a catch up and getting to know one another better – and more tea/coffee and biscuits!

There is no dress code, no-one is excluded, no equipment or church experience is necessary and there is no requirement to understand the Christian faith in depth. Please just come as you are.

Thank you to all who joined us over Christmas & Easter

We had a very busy but wonderfully blessed time at both Christmas and Easter with lots of visitors on site for our variety of events. At Christmas we were joined by the Stowmarket Concert Band. An angel, Mary, Joseph, Simeon and King Herod all made appearances too as we asked the question ‘Jesus – faithful or traitor?’ Then at Easter we had services on Good Friday and Easter Sunday with a lovely family event on Saturday when so many children and families joined us for the family fun event that we ran out of Easter eggs. Thank you to all who came and joined in. Next year we will order more eggs!
