Community Activities

Our usual 40 pre school children and their carers is limited (from 17th May 2021) to 30 while Covid restrictions last.  Children enjoy toys, water, sand, paint and crafts. We enjoy a bible story, sing songs and chatting to others.  Refreshments are bring your own during Covid restrictions. 

In normal times and when indoor rule of 6 applies, Grace Cafe takes place weekly in the Family Centre and provides free tea and coffee (donations welcome), a sit down and a chat for all ages, in groups of 6.  Carers responsible for looking after their own children.  In normal times Food for Thought Cafe takes place most months in the main church building - in addition to free tea and coffee, food for thought is provided by one or more speakers on a different subject each month.

Youth Group will restart in May 2021 on term time Friday evenings 6:30-9pm with schools years 6-8 before 7:45pm and years 9-11 after 7:45pm.  Five-a-side football, pool, table football, table tennis, darts, board games and computer games.  We are grateful for a 202½2 grant from Baptist Insurance Company.

In Normal times around 30 senior citizens meet most Friday afternoons to share friendship over craft, jig saws, knitting, playing cards, scrabble and dominoes. There is tea and cake, a quiz of some kind and a short epilogue, with a hymn and a prayer.  Since March 2020 we have opened as much as is permitted to be Covid-safe - currently different groups of 6 meet either outside or inside if wet, but in the past we did weekly goody bag home deliveries.

Community Choir is hoping to restart on 6th September 2021. If you enjoy singing, you are welcome, whatever your ability, to sing and chat - but not at the same time!  Around 50 adults sing pop, soul, gospel, and ‘songs from the shows’.  When social distancing ends we will end each term with an open rehearsal.
