Our Church and Church Room activities have been suspended as part of our response to the regulations and advice of Government and Church during this pandemic. One Bible Study is continuing to meet over Zoom most weeks.
We gather at 10am on Sundays as a community of faith to celebrate God's power in these times of fear and uncertainty.

THE PARISH CHURCH OF CYCLING.  Ripley was an important destination in the early days of leisure cycling with "traffic jams" of bicycles forming on Kingston Hill heading to Ripley. This link is reflected in a stained glass window and also in a memorial plaque to the first person to achieve 20mph on a bicycle. We have an annual "Cyclists Service" in May attended by many cyclists on vintage bikes.
