Abbey’s New Website is now “live” so please visit at abbeychurch.org.uk There you will find updated information about every aspect of life at Abbey.  The calendar gives an easy view of planned events & notes on special services.  All the duty rotas are maintained in one area.  The five committees have their own areas.  You will also find financial reports, our rich history, helpful notes on getting married, baptisms & blessings and funeral arrangements.  We will be holding a few classes to help folks learn how to navigate the site so please visit abbeychurch.org.uk and see your Church through new eyes.

We would like Abbey church to be open during the week. If you are able to ‘open and close’ please sign the list at the back of the church.
