Whoever you are, wherever you’ve come from, you are welcome here!

We hope you’ll find a place of warm welcome at either of our churches. If you are new - let someone know it’s your first time here, and they will help you out with getting familiar with what happens in the services!

We love to stay in touch - why not contact us to say hello?

  • Come as you are. There is no dress code - but wear something!

  • We Sing songs - ones you might not know at first - but no-one minds, have a go at singing!

    We hear and say prayers - you are invited to join in with the Bold type on the screen or in the book

    We hear Readings - words are read from the bible. There are bibles in the seats if you would like to follow along.

    We hear a sermon - we listen to a preacher give a talk on the bible linked to the readings

  • How to find a bible verse:

    “John” is the ‘book’ of the bible we are in - a bit like the title page of a chapter.

    “Chapter 1” this is the BIG numbers you see interspersed between roughly paragraph length sections of each book

    “Verse 1” this is the little numbers next to individual words in each chapter

  • At the end of a service we usually have tea and coffee and a time to chat to one another and catch up with the weeks events. If you are new - come and say hi!

  • Communion is where we take bread and wine and we give thanks to God for the death of Jesus that offers forgiveness and freedom from the wrong we do (known as sin)

    All who know and love Jesus are welcome to recieve the bread and the wine.

    If you aren’t sure - you can always come forward for a blessing, or stay in your seat - there’s no pressure!
