Morning Service

The morning service starts at 10am and finishes around 11.15am. It is a time of worship and teaching suitable for all ages within the congregation.

Younger children are encouraged to participate in the first half hour of the meeting. The teaching is split into two parts, the first of which gives opportunity for children to get involved. After about 30 minutes, just before the sermon, 3 - 5 year olds may leave (at parents’ discretion) for a class in which they are taught Bible truth at their own level. There are crèche facilities for under 3’s.

After the main preaching, there is often a short time for response in open prayer and song. After the formal part of the meeting refreshments are available, and all are encouraged to stay to talk together and have further fellowship. This is a valuable time, and almost everybody stays!

Communion Once a month on a Sunday, either morning or evening, we share together in Communion, the sharing in bread and wine as symbols of Jesus’ body and blood, given for us in his death on the cross. We do this as part of the main service and usually structure the whole service around it. We invite visiting believers who are in fellowship with other Evangelical churches to join us in the Communion Service.

We also share in Communion once a month at our midweek Fellowship Meeting.

Special Services

In addition to the regular pattern outlined, we hold special services at certain seasons (Easter, Christmas, Harvest, Remembrance Sunday) and for a special focus, such as TearFund (helping the poor) and Mission Sunday. Many of these services are especially suitable for visitors. There is usually a special series in the summer aimed at presenting the gospel message clearly for those who are not yet Christians.

Evening Service

This meeting has proved to be another very valuable time of learning and worshipping together. There is more variety possible without the same structure of the Morning Service and with a smaller congregation. All ages are represented, and participation is encouraged, in prayer and often through interactive teaching.
