Hothouse to be open more and more.
Let us know if there's anything you'd like to see happening there.
We try and open the
Hothouse for at least a day or two every school holiday, longer in the summer.
At the moment these sessions are for primary aged children.
Look out for dates and details.
In the past
year we have enjoyed Easter and Christmas celebrations at the Hothouse. These events at 4.00pm are open to all
ages and are a good opportunity to worship God together and explore the
Christian faith in a very informal setting.
Look out for further dates and details.
