SUNDAY SERVICES
8am Every Sunday – Holy Communion
This is a short, usually half hour, very peaceful and traditional service without music.
10.00am - 1st, 3rd , 4th and 5th Sunday each month – Family Communion with Junior Church and 11+/teenagers meeting in their own groups during the main service and joining in with communion. This is a traditional service with a contemporary edge. We sing hymns and modern Christian worship songs, using audio-visual presentation. There is a crèche available and coffee is served afterwards.
10.00am – 2nd Sunday each month – Family Service. This is a contemporary style of service and is for everyone. We tend to sing more of the modern worship songs during this service. There’s often a brief drama sketch – and always a short bit of teaching. There is a crèche available and coffee is served afterwards.
