Sunday
Sunday starts with prayer. Without that connection with God, we’d soon be lost! So, at 10 am a number of people get
together and bring it all to God. After that, the rest can happen.
Morning Service
11:00 am is when the church fellowship gets together to worship the Lord. We generally start off
altogether and after about 20 minutes, the young people go to their own classes. There’s
‘Beginners’ for the very youngest (even babies get in on the action!) and
‘Discoverers’ for the slightly older children.
The service lasts a little over one hour. Everyone is welcome. There’s a wonderful
group of musicians who lead the singing and various other people take part at other
times. We have access for the disabled and a loop system
for
the hard of
hearing.
What are the services like?
We enjoy a real mix of noisy and quiet; formal
and casual; contemporary and traditional.
The congregation typically contains some
babies, toddlers, children, teenagers, young adults, middle-agers and senior
members, so we find ourselves responding to different backgrounds and needs in
every service. That means, when you visit, you'll probably know some of the songs
but not all, you'll find some of our habits normal and maybe some will seem a little
strange (but only until you get to know us better).
After the service, we get together in the Hall for a cup of tea or coffee and a chat.
Sunday Evening Service
At 6:00 pm on Sundays, we have a different service together. It tends to be smaller, and therefore, more amenable to
sharing and discussion than in the mornings.
We read the Scriptures and hear an explanation of the readings, sharing our responses and praying together. The service
lasts about an hour and everyone is welcome.
