LIFE EVENTS
There are moments in all of our lives which will have a special significance for us. These might include the celebration of a wedding; the christening of a child; or a funeral to mark and give thanks for a loved one’s life.
In these moments, many people turn to the church. If you live in our community or have a link to our churcs, we would love to help and support you through these key times, or ‘Life Events’ as we call them. We have a wealth of experience guiding and supporting people through some of the happiest, and sometimes the most difficult, times in their lives.
Whether you’re celebrating something wonderful, or struggling with loss or disappointment, we would like to help. We’re here for you for every step of your life journey.If you’re planning a Baptism, Confirmation, Wedding or Funeral, or just want more information,please contact us using the form above.
Child Baptism
Discover all you need to know about choosing, planning and going to a Church of England child baptism.
Adult Baptism
Whenever it happens, whether as a baby, child or adult, baptism is at the heart of an amazing journey of faith as a follower of Jesus Christ. You are never too old to take this step, and being baptized as an adult is a wonderful experience.
Confirmation
Confirmation can be an important part of a lifetime journey of faith as a follower of Jesus Christ.
Wedding
Discover all you need to know about Church of England weddings and blessings. Marrying in church is personal, meaningful, spiritual and beautiful, just as you want it to be.
Funeral
If someone you know and love has died, a funeral led by a Church of England minister can be held in church, in a churchyard, by a graveside, or at a crematorium. The minister will be there to support you every step of the way.
GIVING
Churches need money to pay the bills that keep our doors open, and resource the activities of the church that people value. Without money, our ministry and mission is diminished and hindered. It’s that simple.
The bible teaches that we’re to be wise stewards of all we have. Those 2000 bible verses on wealth and possessions, including some tough teaching from Jesus, pack a powerful punch. The joyful giving of the tithe (Deut. 14:22-29), Paul’s challenge to ‘excel in the grace of giving’ (2 Cor. 8:7) and the women who supported Jesus’ ministry (Luke 8:1-2) teach us that joyful, generous giving is the hallmark of our discipleship around money and the gift that resources the ministry and mission of our church.

Midweek Holy Communion
Each Thursday morning, we gather at The Good Shepherd for a short and meaningful communion service. It’s a gentle way to pause in the middle of the week, to share in prayer, reflection, and the presence of God together.
After the service, we continue our fellowship over something simple yet special, tea and toast. It’s a chance to sit down, chat, and enjoy one another’s company in a relaxed and friendly setting. Whether you’re a regular member of our congregation or simply curious to join us for the first time, you’ll find a warm welcome waiting.
So why not come along this Thursday? Bring a friend, share in communion, and stay for a cuppa and a slice of toast. We’d love to see you there.
Every Thursday and Sunday at 9:30 a.m.

Are you looking for a little space in your week, a chance to slow down, be creative, and connect with God and others? Then our Art Group might be just what you need.
Each week, we enjoy simple art and craft projects in a relaxed, supportive environment. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to have a go and enjoy the process. Alongside the creativity, there’s also the opportunity for prayer if you would like, making this a time not only for making but also for reflection and encouragement.
We meet on Thursday mornings from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm, and everyone is welcome. Come along, bring a friend, and discover how creativity and community can refresh your spirit.
