Regular Church Activities
Please come and make yourself known to one of the leaders if you would like to be more involved in the church.
Details of all our meetings and services are published in the weekly bulletin and in the bimonthly magazine.
On Sundays
We meet on Sunday morning at 10.30 and in the evening at 6.30.
We also have special services on Christmas Day and Good Friday.
Sunday Mornings
In the morning services all our songs are sung from the screen at the front of the church. If you prefer, please pick up a song book from the steward on your way in. This has most of the songs we use. We often remain standing for worship but if you want to sit down at any time, please do!
Our services are informal and we use today's language. We sing and pray together as an act of worship to God. We listen to a speaker explaining what the bible says about an aspect of Christian faith. You can read tips on getting the best from a Bible message. Once a month we have an all-age service with something for everyone! At times we like to be joyful and thankful for our experience of God. At other times we like to be quiet and reflective. Each service is different, our style is relaxed and we encourage people to be themselves.
There is more about our worship with some photographs.
The Offering
We do not expect visitors to contribute to the offering so please just pass the bag on, unless you want to give to the work here in which case ... great! When the offering is brought to the front we usually give thanks to God.
Prayer
There are people from the church who are available to pray with you for a few minutes at the end of each service. If you have a particular need and would value prayer, please speak to one of the leadership team
Refreshments
At the end of the morning service we have tea and coffee together.
Sunday Evenings
We have a specialised but varied programme for Sunday evenings at 6.30pm. On the first and third Sundays of each month we usually have a seminar which gives the opportunity to think seriously and profitably about our faith. On the second and fourth Sundays we have communion in either a Sung Praise service or a quiet meditation.
Within the Community
We have a wide range of in-house and community activities for all ages and interests. Please see the latest church magazine for details. We also support Christian work in this country and abroad.
