All the family

The Church is for everyone. Our plans and activities recognise that we are not all the same – we have different temperaments, different interests, different abilities; we come from different home, family and work situations, and we are at different stages of life. That's why our mix of activities frequently changes as we recognise new needs and opportunities. Here are some of the things we are doing in 2007.

Sunday worship

Family service at 1030 each Sunday in the Carrick Centre, Houston.
On the first Sunday of each month we also have a quieter Word and Table service at 0900 in the same place.

ADULTS
