18-30s:

Nothing specific, but we have a number of people coming who are in this age range and have various social things from time to time.

Local outreach & community activities:

We support 'Open the Book', which presents a Bible story in the morning assembly in a local primary school once a week. This has temporarily stopped due to the Covid restrictions, but should restart next academic year.

Other activities & ministries:

We have a prayer group which meets twice a week online. This is on Mondays and Fridays at 4.30 p.m. We usually pray for about 25 minutes, for the world, for our country, for our neighbourhood and for our church. We have a once a week Bible study, also online. This is on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. and lasts approximately an hour. Group members usually lead it. 'Christian in Creation' is a 16-lesson online course which aims to understand our Christian responsibility towards creation and our role in it. The course was designed by the minister and is led by him. A number of other activities would normally happen or are planned but are halted or cannot start due to the Covid restrictions: * a Wednesday morning drop-in coffee time and a midweek sewing/handicraft group. * 'Rosebery Prospects', which is a monthly group for people with autism or special needs. We plan to start a men’s group and a 'Learn to Sing' group, led by someone with many years experience of leading singing
