Sundays
Prayer Group: 9.40-10.05am
Our prayer group meets every Sunday in the church to hold our church, community and world in prayer. Contact Matt for the details.
Morning Service: 10.30am
We have a mix of traditional and newer songs, as well as Bible readings, a sermon and prayers. The style of service varies slightly from week-to-week:
First Sunday of the month - Celebration Sunday
We meet from 10.15am for refreshments and croissants, before sitting round tables in this informal, interactive, cafe-style service for all ages.
Second Sunday of the month - Communion with Kids Church
This service has a more traditional format, including a sermon and the sharing of bread and wine to remember Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross. The children normally join the adults for part of the service, before leaving for their own groups (see below).
Third Sunday of the month - All-age Parade Service
The third Sunday is usually an all-age, interactive service. During term time, we are joined by members of the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Rainbows and Brownies, who parade in with their flags.
Fourth and Fifth Sundays of the month - Worship with Kids Church
These services have a more traditional format. The children normally join the adults for part of the service, before leaving for their own groups (see below).
Children's Provision
There is a good sized crèche area in the church which is open to all children under 3 and their parents. For children aged 3-11, we have Kids Church on the second, fourth and fifth Sundays of the month. Kids Church includes games, music, drama, bible teaching and much more. The children usually start off in the service and go out around 10.45am. We also have Youth Church, usually on the second and fourth Sundays of the month, and occasionally 'Young Leaders'. For more details, please contact Lu about Kids Church or Kathy about Youth.
Cafe Church: 4.30-6pm
We have an all-age Cafe Church on Sunday afternoons. In January, this is meeting on 12th, 19th and 26th to run the Hope Explored Course. All are welcome from 4.30-6pm, where there will be refreshments, all-age crafts and activities, some time engaging with the Bible in an informal way, and opportunity for prayer and reflection.
