Welcome - 2022 At Thorpe Acre Church
As we move on from Christmas and New Year, we are continuing to run live services on Sundays at 10:30 am and Tuesdays at 11 am. Services take various forms depending on staff availability to lead or preside at the service. (see Newssheet for specific week by week details).
If possible, please book in to attend either service by contacting the church office (though if unbooked, you may still come along) and in line with current national guidance you are encouraged to wear a face covering if you are able to do so.
We also continue to produce a weekly online service on our YouTube channel (see below) for those unable to join us in person.
For further information, including other activities, you can see our weekly news sheet or contact the office (admin@astad.org / 01509 236789)
