Our affirming and inclusive Christian semester-time worship offering is called Gritstone and God.
We meet for 10-minute daily prayer at 1.10pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays in semester time and on Wednesdays at 1.10pm we have a 30-minute main service; most weeks this is a Communion Service and every fourth week it’s a simple service. We will aim to finish by 1.40pm.
The dates for our 2025/26 simple services are Nov 12, Dec 10, Jan 21, Feb 18, Mar 18, Apr 22, May 20, June 10.
On Wednesdays there is always refreshments and chat afterwards, and always a chance for a cuppa before and after each day at the Centre.
