Pause to Pray

Each Thursday evening a group of us gather to pray for personal, parish and global concerns. We sometimes focus our prayers by studying God's word, or share bread and wine together using a simple communion service drawn from Iona material. Do join us - some come every week, but really it's a case of come as you feel led. Please note that we will be moving the location for Pause to Pray to St Aidan's starting from the first week of September 2025.

Communion for All

As we grow together as a parish, we meet every week at St Aidan's at 11am in a challenging contemporary form of worship, which is still 100% "Church of England". We welcome all ages, we take everyone's faith journey seriously, and we're committed to travelling together, worshipping together and serving together.

Come and See

At Come and See, we do exactly that. We gather, pray, study, sing and see what God has to say to us. It's a low-key gathering equally suited to those exploring faith for the first time, or seeking to feed a life-long faith.
