CAR PARKING
In addition to our car park, you may park at St Peter & St John Church in Caesar’s Camp Road as well as The Beacon Church in Berkshire Road.
We have been blessed enormously because we have been granted permission to park at the nearby Catholic Church in Caesar's Camp Road and the nearby Beacon Church in Berkshire Road.
I'm sure you understand that we need to prioritise spaces for people who are unable to walk to church. Therefore, wherever possible, (especially on Wednesdays and Sundays) please may I ask you to either walk to church, or park your car at the Catholic or Beacon churches?
Many thanks for your ongoing love, care and support for each other.
MORNING PRAYER
Please join us in the Prayer Room on:
- Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday at 9am (before Wednesday Café at 10am)
- Saturday at 9.30am (before Saturday Café at 10am).
