Sunday@Six for Eastertide


5 May 2019

Come and help us celebrate our Sunday@Six Creation and Enlightenment

The Age of Enlightenment covered the period from the late 17th century to the early 19th century and was a time when there was significant activity in the fields of natural science and philosophy. Our service will briefly examine the contribution of four people from this period whose work left a lasting legacy and our worship will be enriched by music from this period supported by the choir and the praise band. Do come and invite your friends to join us for what we hope will be an interesting and uplifting service.

An important part of these Sundays@Six is the opportunity they give for fellowship after the services. So, when you read the invitation to stay behind for tea/coffee and refreshments, please don’t rush away!
