Where? St John's Church & VicarageWhen? We meet every Sunday during term time. We join in with the worship at the start of Morning Celebration (10.30 for breakfast, worship from 10.45) and then move over to the living room in the vicarage.
What? We meet together for an hour of games, chat, teaching, prayer ministry and sometimes food. We also have regular socials, which have included games & video nights, BBQ's, Alton Towers and concerts with the likes of Delirious. In June 2007 we held a 24 hour famine in aid of World Vision, and in November we are hoping to go on a weekend away together.

On Saturday 29th September we will be going to UNITE, which is an evening celebration event in Birmingham hosted by Open Doors, where we will stand in prayer alongside the worldwide persecuted church.
