02 Activities

What the charity does

Our core activity is a regular Sunday service, in the church, for worship and celebration. We also have discussion groups and action groups meeting on weekdays, e.g. a Green Group, a Poetry Group and other discussion groups. We support other chosen charities by fund-raising, and liaise with other faith and inter-faith groups, with the aim of promoting inter-faith communication and harmony.
