Breakfast Church
An informal service which begins with a self-service croissants, freshly baked rolls and fruit breakfast. We sit round tables and explore the theme of the service through discussion questions and activities. Options are provided for those who prefer to reflect individually. The children go out to their group for some of the time. If you are able to bring an item to contribute to breakfast (eg jam, fruit, brioches, croissants) that would be very welcome but there is no obligation to do so - please feel free to come along and share what others have brought.

A service which includes hymns, songs, prayers, a Bible reading, a talk and at which we share bread and wine in Communion. Children have the opportunity to go out to a group for some of the service. There is a group for teenagers on the second Sunday of the month.

Soulful Walking
A community event organised by Whiteley Church, Soulful Walking is an opportunity to re-connect with things which give us life and joy. With suggested ways to slow down and be present, you may be amazed at what comes to your attention! This is a time to listen to nature, to ourselves and, perhaps, to the 'other'.
