Planning your Visit

Welcome

IMG 4032

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

When do we meet? 

Our Sunday Service starts at 10:00am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit in the church before the service begins. When you arrive, you will be greeted by someone on our friendly welcome team. You can speak to the Vicar or the ministers before coming so they can look out for you. 

Facilities: There are toilets, baby changing facilities, a creche and the church building is always warm. 

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets in the church.

What happens during a service?

images: Services

πŸ™‚ The main service begins at 10am with a warm welcome and opening prayer.  

🎡 We have songs in our worship. We typically have three songs and a piece of music during the service.

πŸ“– People read a passage from the bible. One of our leaders will give a sermon (a short talk) that is bible based, about the Christian faith with teaching and wisdom that we can apply to our everyday life. 

πŸ‘« Sometimes the talk is interactive and we can all join in. Children might help the Vicar with the talk too. This might seem strange the first time you see or hear it but it’s all part of connecting with our beliefs and spirituality. It helps people learn, grow and stay engaged.

πŸ™ Someone will say some prayers for the world and our community.

🍞🍷 We receive holy communion, the bread and wine known as the holy sacrament of Jesus Christ. If we are new to the Christian faith we learn more about this while we receive a special blessing each Sunday. 

πŸ’‘Afterwards we share news, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church.

πŸ•― There is sometimes an opportunity for private prayer or healing at the end of the service.

β˜• We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service. Often cake, plus drinks and snacks for the children. It is a great way to get to know people, and what is going on. There is no pressure to stay, just take time to find your bearings.  You can also chat to the Vicar or the lay ministers. All refreshments are free.
