Our next service is on April 2nd 2023 at 4.30pm. We usually meet on the first Sunday of the month.

During the lockdown, our Taizé services were available online, so that people can participate in a Taizé style reflection, with its key elements (Bible reading, psalm, songs and silence). Links to songs and video clips have enabled us to ‘meet’ together at 6.30pm or join in at any time that is convenient. You can find our online services below.
