We meet at the Scout Hut in Diarmid Road on Wednesday mornings, 10.00 - 1200, to play darts or card and board games. We have a brew together, and simply chat and enjoy each other's company. For further details contact Keith Hughes on 01782 938188.)

Ministry to our Care Homes
If or when you retire to a Care Home, would you not love the opportunity to meet regularly with other Christians?
We aim to hold services once or twice a month in each of our Care Homes (generally on a Thursday), and to help in any other way we can. If you would like to come along and support this significant and vital work, please
