Afternoon Tea and Hymns

Afternoon Tea and Hymns

Our ‘Tea-pot' services are monthly, informal alternatives to our Evening services. Please arrive in the Church Hall from 3.30pm onwards ready for a formal start at 4pm.

There will be tables of six, and we will serve afternoon tea with sandwiches, cakes and tea. At about a quarter to five, we shall give out hymn books and sing some favourite hymns.  Between hymns there will be a bible reading and perhaps a short talk about it, and later a time of prayer, and we will finish with the Grace at about 5.30pm.  We hope overall to sing (parts of) perhaps nine or ten hymns.

Do come along and enjoy a time of relaxed fellowship and worship!
