What’s on

Mid-week Groups and Activities

Gathering together to study the Bible and enjoy fellowship together is vital in helping us grow in faith, in community and in mission. Therefore many of us meet in a ‘Growth Group’. There are several Growth Groups and they meet in people’s homes either during the day or in the evening, usually on a fortnightly basis.

Prayer Meeting

Our most important meeting of the month is our prayer meeting which usually takes place on the first Wednesday of the month. This is a time for members to praise God for who he is and what he has done for us in Jesus Christ, as well as to thank him for answered prayer. We also pray for church matters, our mission and ministry as well as for the wider community. We start at 7:50 pm, and finish promptly at 9:00 pm.

We have an annual Lent Course, when most Growth Groups join together for teaching sessions on a particular Bible theme.

Babies and Toddlers

St Martin’s Baby and Toddler Group meets every Friday from 9:30am during school term time. We have a wide range of play equipment and toys suitable for babies through to pre-school children.

There is also an interactive circle time featuring singing and a short bible story for children.

The group is run by volunteers from St Martin’s church and we invite all parents, grandparents and carers. We are a friendly group with a desire to see parents and children make friends and build community. The group meets in the main St Martin’s building and you can enter through the main door which is open at all times during the session. Just turn up!

For Seniors

Social and Outreach Events

Annually we have a Plant and Cake Sale held towards the end of May to raise funds for a local charity. This is popular and is run to a high standard by our congregation members.

We also have social events such as a Quiz Night or a meal like a Harvest Lunch where we look forward to inviting friends and relatives to a pleasant evening of fun and conversation.

We also organise occasional afternoon teas and outreach evenings where we seek to share the good news of Jesus more pointedly in a relaxing atmosphere. Irregularly we host a Craft Evening where the women of the church invite friends to come and learn how to make something that will enhance their homes or their fridge! The evening will include a short talk on some aspect of the Christian faith.

We occasionally organise themed events for children with craft, games, songs and Bible teaching.
