Sample content for a ministry that does not exist. The photographs, words and colours on a real site are yours.
A parish church on the coast
The door is open from seven in the morning.
You do not have to come to a service to come in. People sit at the back all week, and nobody asks them anything.
Where we are
Built in 1841, for the fishing fleet.
The harbour is gone and the church is not. About a hundred and twenty of us meet here, and the building is used by the town for most of the rest of the week.
When we meet
Four times a week.
Sunday, 9.30
Morning service, with communion on the first Sunday.
Sunday, 6.00
Evening service, quieter and mostly sung.
Wednesday, 7.30
Prayer in the side chapel. Twenty minutes, no notice needed.
Thursday, 10.00
Coffee morning in the hall. Anyone at all.
