4:00pm Tea and Stories at St Helens Parish Church, but not as you may know it! Tea and Stories is a family friendly, interactive cafe style service.

This is a very informal gathering where you can come to spend time in God's presence. You can expect lots of music, both lively and reflective and a time to soak in sung worship, prayer, and words from the bible.

This is a space to relax, feel free to share refreshments at the start of our gathering and to help yourself throughout the evening.
