Regular Events
Coffee Mornings in St Giles' Church. Everyone is invited for coffee in the Deane Chapel (or outside in the Churchyard, if the weather is good). There is no charge - this is a social get-together, not a fundraiser. Also, we now serve coffee after all our regular services, so please join us if you can.
