Services

 

9:00am

Traditional. This is a more liturgical Common Worship service with songs and hymns played on a keyboard. One service a month is Service of the Word and the rest are Holy Communion, so the focus is very much on word and sacrament. The service lasts one hour. Tea and coffee are served in the hall after the service.

 

10:30am

Informal. This service is particularly popular with families. It is a growing, informal service where the gifts of the Holy Spirit are encouraged in worship. Worship at this service is led by a contemporary worship band. The focus here is worship, word and prayer ministry, although there is Holy Communion once a month. The service lasts for about an hour and a half and there is provision for young people and children, including a creche. Once a month (usually the third Sunday of the month) there is a shorter ‘Engage Service’, where the children stay in longer but on all the other Sundays outside of school holidays there is a prepared programme for all ages from 0-18. Tea and coffee are served in the hall after the service.

 

 

6:30pm

Fluid. Over the years this has developed as a service where people can ‘go deeper with God’. It is a place from which we planted two new congregations – Embassy (a fresh expression for young adults) and Engage (a youth outreach with worship). The service allows space for seeking after the presence of God, focuses on worship, word, prayer, use of gifts of the Holy Spirit and prayer ministry. We also share Holy Communion together once a month. Tea and coffee are usually served either before, during or after the service.
