Our worship is open to all and inclusive of all. Our services are informal and relaxed. We celebrate God's love through words, songs, prayers and a time of thought and reflection. We aim to offer worship that is relevant, encouraging and challenging. Our worship is varied, often led by our Minister, our worship leaders or visiting local preachers. We meet to worship every Sunday morning at 10am and on other special occasions too.
Communion takes place at our Church on the second Sunday each month during our all-age service.
All are welcome to share Communion with us, or if you prefer, to receive a blessing.
Our wine is always alcohol-free.
Music is woven into the fabric of our worship, building on a rich, broad legacy from decades of musicianship and singing at this church. Music helps us to express our faith in praise and adoration, but it also carries our prayers and holds us gently when in pain, stress and doubt.It strengthens bonds of fellowship when we sing together and supports personal reflection when we want to be still. As a church we are explicitly aware of, and open to, connecting with God’s Spirit through music.
We try to be inclusive, equally at home with traditional or folk-orientated hymns, choruses and modern worship songs. We want people to feel comfortable to join in as they wish. We have a regular music group that plays two or three Sundays each month, with acoustic and electric guitars. Occasionally we use the clavinova which has piano or organ settings.
During the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, music held a special place for our church community. We recorded hymns and songs for online services, took recorded CDs to church members living alone, and built up a large library of worship music, to which we are still adding new songs and hymns. These recordings are usually used for services when the music group is not available, so that ‘it still sounds like us’.
Please contact Judy Durrant judy.durrant@btinternet.com if you would like to know more about our music, would like to contribute or have any suggestions or comments.
Children are very welcome in all of our services. Our second Sunday of the month is all-age and there are activities available for children and young people on the other weeks.
Look out for Messy Church, Summer Spaces and our family-friendly events!
