Sunday morning at 10.30 is the main focus of our week. We gather to worship God.

Worship is usually led by our minister, church members or visiting preachers from the area. The service is a mixture of singing, bible reading, prayer and a talk.

You are very free to join in as much or as little as you like. If anything feels unfamiliar feel free to ask the person who welcomed you before the service or anyone sat near to you.

Our Sunday services last around an hour and are usually followed by coffee/tea and chat.

Music is important to us and can very often be a means through which we connect with one another. We enjoy a mixture of modern and traditional hymns usually accompanied by organ or piano and drum kit or occasionally pre-recorded music.

There are no fixed rules so you will be fine, but please do feel relaxed and join in as you are able. We frequently stand to sing hymns and sit to pray, but whoever is leading the worship will usually guide everyone as to what to do. We are a lot more relaxed about doing “the right thing” than you imagine.

Communion is usually included in our worship on the second Sunday of the month. This is a moment when Christians share bread and wine to remember Jesus, particularly that Jesus breaks down social divisions to bring us all together. We are an “open and inclusive” church where everyone is welcome and invited to share communion with us – being invited to share bread and wine together is a gift to us and a sign of being one people.

The bread and (non-alcoholic) wine may be brought to you in your seat, or you will be invited to move the front but again the worship leader guides us through the service.

Simply whatever you are most comfortable wearing. There are no expectations about clothing, so please feel relaxed and be yourself in all that can mean for you

Children are very welcome to join us, there are toys readily available to occupy little ones.

There is no expectation or requirement to support the church financially. But if you wish to do so, there is a collection plate at the door for members and regular attenders. There is no collection plate passed around, so please don’t worry!

Most people support church through cash donations, standing orders, or an envelope scheme that enables us to Gift Aid donations.

Prayer forms part of our regular meeting together and, though it might feel odd at first, is an important part of our worship Prayer is essentially about us making room in our thoughts, hearts and minds for someone or something. Prayers are usually led by the worship leader and there maybe a response for you to share, making the prayers your own. We also make time for silent personal prayer.
