All our church services focus on the wonder of God’s power as we praise him together. We ask for forgiveness for the things we know we should not have done, or have failed to do. We listen to teaching from the Bible to help us shape our lives to be more like Jesus, trusting that the Holy Spirit will guide and help us.
Morning Worship
A simple, prayerful service in modern language, with 2 Bible readings and a sermon, in which we will explore in different ways the meaning of the Bible for us today. A choir leads us in singing hymns and the service lasts about 60 mins.
Holy Communion
A formal service of Holy Communion in which we remember the last meal Jesus shared with his disciples before his death and resurrection. Parts of the service are sung with a robed choir leading the singing. There will normally be 2 Bible readings and a sermon to help us apply God’s word to our current situation. The service lasts about 75 mins.
All Together Worship
Short friendly service for all the family and for those unused to traditional church worship, lasting about 60 mins. It is an informal service led by a variety of people and groups. It is very much a family centred service with children of all ages welcomed - and they often take part with musical instruments. The organ (or piano) is usually augmented by a small music group, and assisted by an informal choir.
Joint Group Worship
Fifth Sunday worship will be provided at one of the Group's church and all congregations will be welcome at that service.
Refreshments are always provided after the 10:00 service, so please stay and have a drink and a biscuit.
