Some of our events and special services

Climate Sunday 2021

Prayers were offered on boats, following the thought from Christian Aid "The climate crisis is a storm that affects us all, but we are not all in the same boat." 

Remembrance Sunday

Wreaths were laid once again at the memorial in Westbourne as a crowd gathered for the Act of Remembrance, November 2021.

Supporting those who have lost friends and loved ones

Candles lit in memory of those who died in the last two years at the Friends & Relatives Remembrance Service, November 2021.
