Evening 7th June 2026 | 6pm | The Greenhouse Sessions
A gentle space for conversation, coffee, and prayer as we nurture the vision God is growing among us - a chance to listen deeply, share openly, and dream prayerfully together!
Join us for the first session as we create space for the Holy Spirit’s ideas to take root and His Vision to begin to bloom! These will then be continuing to take place on the 1st Sunday evening of each month.
Prayer Times
There are a couple of opportunities each week to join with others for a time of prayer. Monday Evening at 7pm and/or Saturday morning at 10am both in the lounge. It would be great if you could join us.
Connecting Carers’ through Chat, a Cuppa & Cake
Thursday 25th June, 7-8.30pm in the Church Lounge. An informal, social drop-in to connect with others in the church who support/care for a family member or friend of any age.

Womens' Walking Group
The Walkie Talkies are a group of women who meet once or twice a month for short, local walks and a chat. Come and join us if you'd like some fresh air and friendship, and feel free to invite your friends! We tend to walk for about an hour, but you can join for as little or as much as you like - no fitness level required, some of us are slow walkers! If you'd like to join the WhatsApp group, just chat to Sarah Hodges or Esme Farewell.

If you’d like to support our ministry and mission in an ongoing way – we can do so either by placing donations in the offering box on the Bible shelves near the sound desk, pay by contactless giving on the phone there, or by bank transfers.
Please see the following information about the way the church is funded. Many thanks. There are also QR codes in various places in the Church Lounge and Church hall for you to scan to support the ministry and mission of the church if you so wish.

Places You Can Find Us
Logos Hope, is coming to Cardiff!
This summer and autumn the OM ministry ship Logos Hope with its large floating bookfair will be touring the UK. She will be docked right here in Cardiff and open to the public from 11th - 27th September. The vision for the tour is that it would act as a catalyst for all that God is already doing through His people here in the UK. We long to see a renewed desire in believers and local churches to respond to God’s call to make Him known throughout the nations, but also locally we want to see the ship visit be a platform to share with many the hope we have in Christ.
During the visit, there will be opportunities for everyone to engage with her stories & crew - from curated events to guided tours of the ship, and visits to the bookfair and café onboard.
