We meet on Sundays at 10.30am to worship and praise God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) through a mixture of prayer, Bible readings, hymns and worship songs and an exploration of what Gods word means to us in the 21st century, all in a relaxed atmosphere.
Children and very welcome in our services and we don’t mind a bit of noise from them. We include crafts or activities to engage children or they are welcome to have a few toys if they require them.
The service lasts approximate 1.5 hours.
What to Expect
The doors are usually opened by 10:00am
and you are welcome to arrive as early as you need (though we also understand
some people can’t arrive until the service is underway for a whole variety of
reasons).
Upon arrival you will be greeted at the front
door my at least one of our welcome team.
You are welcome to sit where you are most comfortable – near the front or the back, next to a window or by the aisle. No one has reserved seats and you won’t offend anyone by sitting where you are most comfortable. If you need us to move a chair or two to accommodate a wheelchair or pushchair we are happy to do so.
Before the service begins there will be people getting set up (adjusting microphones, preparing refreshments or whatever is needed for the service). Sometimes there is background music playing.
There are a few toys and some colouring sheets for those who need them during the service, we understand not everyone can concentrate for the whole service.
