Regular Activities
Sundays
We have three meetings on Sundays, each with a different 'feel'.
- At 9.30 am we start the day with ARISE, our morning service in which we come together to praise God and to learn from God's Word. On the second Sunday of every month we usually celebrate Communion during this service. ARISE finishes around 10.45, and we encourage everyone to stay for refreshments, to mingle with others arriving for the next service.
- YOUNG AT HEART at 11.30: a service especially for families with young children (though quite a few older people also join in!). The atmosphere is informal, with quite a lot of discussion, some video clips, usually something to think about and something else to laugh about, to help families to worship and learn together. YAH finishes at 12.30 promptly.
- THE MEETING PLACE at 6.30pm. As a Pentecostal Church, we value time in which we can meet with God without being hurried. Here is where we gather to listen to God together; where we can have extended times of worship or praying for each other; where we seek to hear God speak through prophecy and spiritual gifts. We do usually have a sermon, and we leave more time than we usually have in the mornings for responding to God individually. Once a month we also take Communion.
Please join us!
