What do our services look like?
On Sunday mornings we come together to learn about the Bible and grow in our faith. We take time to pray and sing songs of worship to God, and chat together over a cuppa.
We are a welcoming, family-friendly, informal community. People of all ages and backgrounds come and participate on Sundays, we want it to be a home for all of us.
Whoever you are, whatever your beliefs you are welcome to come and share with us on a Sunday and see what we do.
What is the teaching like in your church? How much do I have to participate?
All-age talk & Young Church
We learn in of different ways. We nearly always have an all-age talk, where we consider some of the basics of our faith together. The young people can then go out to our Sunday School (“Young Church”) to continue their learning (1st and 3rd Sundays, activities provided in the service the rest of the time).
Preaching or chatting all together
We then go into further depth with our learning – sometimes by hearing someone preach (1 st and 3 rd Sundays) and sometimes by chatting through a topic/Bible passage together (2 nd and 4 th Sundays).
Interactive activities (5 th Sundays)
Sometimes we ‘learn by doing’, so we also have interactive activities (5th Sundays) to help us explore our faith (on these days there are a variety of options to choose from) – e.g. drawing, painting, researching, crafting etc.
How much do I have to participate?
We do all these things because everyone learns differently and we love to learn and grapple with the Bible and the values of our faith in different ways.
However, it is never obligatory to speak in front of people or do particular activities (or sing!). Sitting and listening can be just as helpful an experience.
