Talks

Before March 2020, and the Covid lockdown, talks from most Sundays were recorded – you can find them from the table below.

Since March 2020, services have either been via pre-recorded video or live-streamed from the church. You can find them on our YouTube channel – scroll through to the talk. (Services on 4 July and 22 Aug 2021 were not able to be live streamed and so recordings are not available).
