Open Churches Sunday

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the doors of your nearest church?

Perhaps you’ve thought about popping in, but been afraid you might be signed up as a member on the spot?

On Sunday 15th November, you are invited to come and see! As part of National Interfaith Week, participating churches have agreed to make one-time-only visitors specially welcome on this weekend, and not to put guests under any pressure to join or come back again. Help will be available if you wish to follow the order of service, and church members will speak about why they do the special things they do.

So whether you are a visitor to the UK seeking a taste of British culture, a worshipper in another faith entirely, or a lifelong member of your own church curious to know how another tradition might do things differently, you will be most welcome!
