Music and Worship
We use a wide range of hymns and songs - both traditional and contemporary.
For many years we have benefited from the use of an excellent digital piano to support our musical worship, and we are now also able to use a wonderful new organ that sounds just like a real pipe organ - but it never goes out of tune!
Our monthly evening Contemporary Worship service will be returning in September and is enabled by a dedicated worship band that draws on musicians from a number of local churches
