Hello

We extend a welcome to all people

A special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, cohabiting, gay, straight, transgender, nonbinary, anything else or prefer not to say.

You are welcome if you are rich and keep all your money in a big brown bag or you are poor and would like a bag of food. You are one of the beautiful people!

We welcome all ages; babies, energetic toddlers, teenagers like Kevin & Perry, hip-hop gangster grannies, skydiving granddads and everything in between.

You are welcome if you vote red, blue, yellow, green or any colour of the rainbow.

You are welcome if you think a Jaffa Cake is a biscuit or a cake.

We welcome you if you sing like Adele or like many of us can’t hit a note. We don’t care how much you know about Christianity or haven’t come back to church since a family baptism.

We welcome Spurs supporters and Arsenal supporters (we know it’s controversial).

We welcome those who prefer Star Trek to Star Wars.

We welcome tired parents, posh coffee drinkers, those who dunk biscuits in their brew, climate change activists, vegetarians and vegans.

We welcome you if you think the best Jollof Rice comes from the Gambia, Ghana or Nigeria, or if you prefer jerk chicken to fried chicken.

We welcome all walks of life and those making a first step into church.

We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted, and those who still have a way-to-go.

We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both. We offer those who feel lost right now; down in the dumps and you need some loving care.

We welcome visitors, browsers, just got out of bed, seekers, doubters and those looking for a whole lot of loving… and we welcome you!

In our differences there is unity.

Welcome to Middle Lane!
