First Sunday of the month the Service is in the Church, usually led by the minister. The other Sundays are conducted via Zoom. The Zoom format is to fit into a 30-35mins slot. usually with two hymns and congregational involvement. As the hymns require some work, providing them early in the week is appreciated, with the Order of Service later. The Order of Service is then distributed among the congregation with readers identified and with the Zoom link.

The contact for the Zoom services is Colin How.
