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.
