We meet every Sunday at 10am to worship God in words, songs and prayer.
What to expect:
As a Church of England church, we follow the modern (Common Worship) liturgy.
Your first visit
When?
10.00 am–11.15 am every Sunday.
What should I wear?
Whatever you're comfortable wearing. Most people dress casually.
Where do I sit?
Anywhere you'd like.
What happens?
A mixture of songs, Bible readings, a short sermon (a 15-minute talk relating the Bible to everyday life), and prayer. Our services are relaxed; our clergy do not wear robes. We sing modern worship songs and a few traditional hymns. A worship group and music videos support our music; the words are projected onto a screen.
We share Communion on the second and fourth Sundays of the month. Visitors are welcome to receive a blessing or share communion with us if they are baptised and used to taking communion in their church, or just observe. We use unleavened bread (made from flour and water) or wafers (gluten-free wafers are available on request) and share a common cup containing alcoholic wine.
What about children?
Children are very welcome at our Sunday services. We don't currently have a large number of children attending regularly, so we don't yet have a dedicated children's group every Sunday. Children currently do not go out during the service; we don't mind any noise. We have an area available with soft mats, a few toys and books. We aim to start groups for this age when numbers permit. We would love to welcome more families and will develop activities as numbers grow.
Do I have to be a Christian?
No.
Will someone talk to me?
Yes — but you won't be interrogated!
After the service, there is an opportunity to stay for coffee and meet others.
What about giving?
We do take a collection as part of our worship to support the church here. Many give by standing order, and so pass the collection plate by. There is no obligation to give.
