On-line Meetings

In the Coronavirus era all meetings are held online.

Sunday morning worship and Tuesday morning prayers do not need a password. Passwords for all other meetings are given out in Sunday Morning Worship.

For technical advice on attending meetings click on read more below.

Sung Worship

Sung Worship uses music from 19^th, 20^th and 21^st century sung at a lower pitch to facilitate wide participation. We are free to stand or sit, to be silent or use percussion as we worship. In the Coronavirus era we sing along to video clips or to one of our musicians. In Normal times the music group seeks to facilitate worship using keyboard, guitars, drums and a pipe organ.

Prayers of intercession

We pray for each person in the church by name each year on the week of their birthday (and sing happy birthday). We pray for the work of Tear fund and BMS World Mission at least once a month, and for each of our community activities at least once a term.

Bread and Wine

All those of any age who desire to meet with God in receiving gluten free bread and non alcoholic wine are welcome to do so in our twice monthly communion services (one of which is normally all-age and one of which is adults only). In the Coronavirus era we supply our own bread and wine. In Normal times those of any age who wish to do so take turns at serving the bread and wine.

Bible Teaching and Preaching

Our sermons seek to explain the links made with other parts of the bible (and often precede the reading from the bible). They also seek to encourage us in our faith as well as challenge us to put what we learn into practice.

Different Age groups

In the Coronavirus era there is separate provision for children, called Value Builders, on Saturday morning. In Normal times, over a month we spend about 40% of our total Sunday morning gathered worship time all together, including an all-age service. On other weeks there are Value Builders groups for up to school year 2, school years 3-6, schools years 7-9, older teenagers and adults.

Sunday Worship - Tea and coffee

Talking to each other, praying for each other, sharing the joys, sorrows and challenges of life, is very important, both before the Sunday morning service and afterwards, when refreshments are served. Someone recently said that “You can be you, without having to pretend to be churchy”. In the Coronavirus era we do this in break-out groups before and after the service.

Prayers for Healing

Once a quarter we offer anointing of oil to everyone. We often use words from Psalm 23: “Please refresh my soul. Bring healing to my body. Be present in my dark valleys. Surround me with your goodness and love all the days of my life”

Serving

Different people welcome others on the doors, read the bible, preach, coordinate the service, take part in the music group, lead intercessions, serve communion, serve tea and coffee, lead and help with children’s groups, count the offering and clean the church building. In the Coronavirus era only items in italics take place.
