Midweek Activities
Monday
Wellbeing Cafe - 1pm
The St.Giles Wellbeing Café is a place of community, hospitality, and support, open to all but with a particular emphasis on those affected by mental health issues. The café operates weekly on a Monday afternoon between 1pm and 4pm in the Church Centre and provides a quiet, friendly environment to meet and talk with others over tea and coffee with the added option of engaging in practical activities such as crafts and board games.
As well as being a place for community, the Wellbeing Café is rooted in the Christian practices of prayer and contemplation. Each café session revolves around a simple pattern of reflective prayer which is led by one of the Team within our designated 'Prayer Space' – set slightly apart from the other activities. All visitors are welcome to engage with these short times of prayer, but are under no compulsion to do so. The Wellbeing Café welcomes people of all faith backgrounds and of none.
Tuesday
Toddle In - 10am
Toddle In is our weekly space for young children and their grown ups to play, create, and connect. Held in the Church Centre, it’s a relaxed and friendly environment where little ones can enjoy toys, crafts, and plenty of room to explore, while carers get the chance to chat and build supportive relationships.
Each session includes simple craft activities, free play, and a short time of singing together — a lovely way for children to learn, join in, and have fun. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or carer, you’re warmly welcome. Toddle In is a great place to meet others, let your children play safely, and feel part of a caring community.
Wednesday
Women's Ministry (Tea & Toast) - 10:30am
Tea and Toast is our weekly space for women to pause, breathe, and enjoy time together. It’s a simple gathering built around friendship and support — a chance to share life, chat over a cuppa, and find encouragement in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
There’s no agenda and no pressure. Just a warm community of women who come alongside one another, offering listening ears, gentle conversation, and genuine fellowship. Whether you’re new to St.Giles or have been part of the church for years, you’ll find Tea and Toast a place to connect, feel cared for, and belong.
Alpha - 7pm (30th Sept - 9th Dec)
Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith. Each session starts with watching a short film and then a time of discussion where you can share your thoughts with a small group. If at any point you decide Alpha isn’t for you, that’s not a problem. There’s no pressure, no follow up, and no charge.
Thursday
Holy Communion - 11am
Our Thursday morning Communion service, hosted within the Church Centre, is a gentle, reflective gathering especially appreciated by older members of our church family. We share in a simple, traditional service of Holy Communion, with time to pause, pray, and enjoy one another’s company.
Young Adults & Students - 7pm
Students and young adults, age 18-30, are invited to gather in the Church Centre for a meal together, as well as teaching, worship, and prayer. We’re passionate about equipping and releasing young disciples who shape culture now and in the future.
