Sunday morning Service 10:30am
This is our main Service each week. Everyone is welcome to come along. It usually lasts around an hour and it includes lively worship music in a mixture of modern and traditional styles, prayers, Bible readings and teaching. We usually include the taking of Holy Communion during the service once a month. The teaching is led by Local Preachers or our Minister. During the service age-specific groups for children are also run (see here for more information). After the service we invite everyone to stay for tea, coffee and a chat. Prayer is also available (see here for more information on prayer).
On the first Sunday of each month our Service is in a ‘café worship’ format where we enjoy refreshments throughout. These services usually include the chance for some group discussions or short activities.
Wednesday morning Service 10am
On most Wednesday mornings of the year at 10am there is a gathering of about twenty people in the Church. We gather for a short time of worship, prayer, teaching and sharing. Someone plays the piano for the singing. Once a month we have a Holy Communion service. Those attending are mainly older people and include folk from other churches. At the end of the service there is an opportunity for coffee and conversation. We stay seated in a circle throughout, which adds to the informality. If you would like to come along to find out if this appeals to you, then please do. You are welcome.
Sunday evening Service 6:30pm
These take a variety of forms, including Bible studies, praise evenings with music, creative services, traditional services, services with food, and outdoor services.
Outcry services on the last Wednesday of each month at 7:30pm
These services are include songs in a modern style led by the worship band Outcry and a talk from a local preacher. Light refreshments are provided.
Housegroups and Small groups
Many people in the church belong to a house group or small group and meet regularly to pray together, read the Bible and talk about the Christian faith. If you are interested in joining a group contact Sue: Tel 0114 2307556. The groups meet on various different times and days of the week and some groups meet more often than others.
Healing & Wholeness Services
Healing was central to the ministry of Jesus. He sent out his disciples to 'proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.' The Church continues that ministry of healing. This does not have to take place in a service, but occasionally we have services in which there is the opportunity for people to be prayed for individually and specifically. (Sometimes the services include Holy Communion, sometimes not.) We normally call these services 'Services for Healing and Wholeness' because they are not just to do with healing of the body but of the whole person. The prayers which are offered are in no way meant to be a substitute for medical care. They are an 'add-on' and express our belief in a God who desires wholeness of body, mind and spirit for everyone.
