We also maintain links with local churches of other denominations, including the Methodist Church and the Roman Catholic Church of St Anne Line which are in our parish.
Every Good Friday at noon we hold a short open air service in the middle of George Lane, with these churches and also the local Salvation Army branch
Please join us for this year’s service on Good Friday.
