First Sunday morning in the month is our family service followed by refreshments. In other services, children worship with us for the first 20 minutes or so and then leave for their own activities - if you would like to meet a children's teacher before the service, please just ask. Details of the current week's theme and the order of service are usually available on this page or Hot News towards the end of the week.

We also use resources from "Family Worship" - you can hear one of their songs called "Rising Generation by clicking on the player above.

Our treasurer and pianist Tony Hughes has also written a lively setting of the Lord's Prayer, "Our Father in heaven", which is suitable for all-age congregational singing. You can read the story of the song, and download a midi file, as well as an mp3 sung version, also piano sheet music, scores for 4 part vocal harmony, and an mp3 backing track. The song is registered with CCLI and you should add it to your annual CCLI return if you use it in public worship. Copyright is owned by and reserved to Tony Hughes.

Communion services are held on the first Sunday (pm) and the third Sunday (am) of each month. Our evening services are in our middle hall and are much less formal, as we explore different ways of worshipping together.

We aim for a relaxed but structured form of worship and a friendly welcoming atmosphere, using Songs of Fellowship as our songbook. Services are sometimes quiet, sometimes lively and last about an hour and a quarter, and include times of open prayer with congregational participation. We use an OHP for songs and visuals, but if you would prefer a songbook or even a large print version, please ask. Biblical preaching is important to us, but you won't be asked to sit through long sermons!

Anyone is welcome to come and join us, whether you are a Christian believer or not. We take special care to make

sure that deaf people are not disadvantaged, and try and make sure all contributors to worship can be heard via our loop system, using hand held microphones during times of open prayer.
