Starfishes
Our popular pre-school toddler and parent group. We meet every Monday morning in term time from 9:30am to 11:30am in the Hall, adjacent to our car park on St George’s Road. Our aim as a group is to share our Christian faith in a relaxed atmosphere, including a song time and story time that has a Christian message, followed by a related craft activity. We also provide a welcoming place for adults and children to make new friends.
The dates for the 2026/27 season are as follows:-
Autumn Term
Monday 7th September to Monday 14th December (except 26th October – half term)
Spring Term
Monday 11th January to Monday 22nd March (except 15th February – half term)
Summer term
Monday 19th April to Monday 19th July (except 3rd May & 31st May – Bank Holidays)
Connect
We like to think that URC can also stand for “U R Connected” – connected to God, to one another, and to yourself. Connect seeks to create a welcoming space of belonging where both body and soul can be nourished.
On the third Friday of every month, a simple yet delicious meal is provided, and people gather around tables to enjoy conversation, friendship, and reflection around a chosen theme.
Experiences are shared, and from this fellowship something beautiful frequently emerges – greater compassion for ourselves and for others, deeper resilience, and often a closer relationship with God.
Why not come and join us?
Connect meets on the third Friday of each month at 1.00pm for food, friendship and faith.
Thursday Club
Everyone is invited to enjoy an entertaining and interesting presentation. We have a wide variety of talented public speakers sharing a wealth of knowledge, stories and experiences. Alternate Thursdays 2:30pm (Winter time only from October to March, in the Church Hall).
