Services are held at 11am every Sunday in the Chapel and reflect our breadth of spiritual views with readings, hymns and prayers from many sources. If available in advance, the next order of service is posted here.
You can also join services via zoom. For further information (including the zoom link) please contact in advance of the service.
We also have a meditation group that meets on Thursday mornings (the chapel is open from 10:30, mediations start at 11:00) and occasional discussion group meetings.

A sample order of service is shown below: this was from a service from 2024 led by our then minister, Rev. Stephanie Bisby.
Last year we marked our 350th Anniversary as a congregation with a special service which we recorded. You can watch below.
Meditation Group
The meditation group meets on Thursdays at 11 a.m. in the meeting room above the Chapel for 45 minutes to an hour of quiet reflection, usually followed by a packed lunch for those who wish to stay and eat together – please arrive promptly as once we’re upstairs we don’t always hear the door!
Discussion Groups
We sometimes meet, either in Chapel or on zoom, for discussion inspired by a relevant book or issue. Past topics have been as varied as race, the Gospel of Mark, and inspirational art. See our ‘Events’ page for any upcoming groups.
