Wednesdays open church 11am till 2pm every week

Drop in any Wednesday, whether you are a regular member of our congregation, a newcomer, a non-believer, or even if you are just struggling with something and need support. We offer a friendly ear but also time to just sit and contemplate in a place of peace if that is your wish.

The church will be managed with people available for prayer if requested but no formal service will take place. There will also be hot refreshments available.

All at St Matthew's Church offer you the warmest welcome.
