Mission Statement

God is calling us to be his active and visible presence, serving him and our neighbour, and spreading his word wherever we are.

Growing together in Christ through prayer and common worship, in awareness of an ever-changing society, we are called to commit our time and talents to expand his kingdom and share his love by reaching out actively to our community.

Prayer of the Month

Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us that what we do for the least of our brothers and sisters we do also for you: give us the will to be the servant of others as you were the servant of all, and gave up your life and died for us, but are alive and reign, now and for ever.

Post Communion Prayer.
