Sunday Mornings

Services are held on Sunday mornings at 10.00 am.

Services are held both in the Worship Centre and in the hall (usually the first and third Sundays of the month, indicated in the sidebar on the right), those in the hall having a more informal style: refreshments are served at the start of the service and the congregation sit in groups around tables. In place of a sermon the groups discuss topics introduced by the leader.

When the service is in the Worship Centre refreshments are served after the service.

The Fair and Ethical Trade Stall is open in the atrium after the service for the sale of fairly-traded goods.

Covenant Service 5th January

The notion of covenant is an ancient one in Jewish and Christian tradition: God’s covenant with Noah after the flood, God’s new covenant with his people in Jeremiah, Christ’s atonement as the new covenant. The Annual Covenant Service is a Methodist tradition begun by Charles Wesley, when the members of the congregation reflect on what it means to be a Christian and renew the promises made when they came into the church. In the words used in the service:

“On the one side, God promises in this Covenant to give us new life in Christ. On the other side, we are pledged to live no more for ourselves but for him. Today therefore, we meet expressly, as generations have met, to renew the Covenant which bound them, and binds us, to God.“

We hold this service each year in January.

Sunday Evenings

There are occasional gatherings on Sunday evenings at 6 pm for discussion and fellowship. The last series used the booklet “Talking of God Together” from the Methodist Church. This will be followed in the spring with the follow-up book “Talking of God with Others.”

Saturday Prayer Breakfasts

Prayer breakfasts are held once a month from 9.15 to 10.15 on Saturday mornings. Everyone is welcome come along. The dates of the next few are in the sidebar on the right (scoll down if using a phone), usually the last Saturday of the month.
