Sunday Mornings
Services are held on Sunday mornings at 10.00 am.
Most services are held in the sanctuary; occasionally they will be in the hall. This is usually where it is a ‘café’ style or some special occasion.
If you have young children, they are welcome to stay with you in the service or go to their own activities with our Junior Church leaders.
Midweek
Starting on 4th December:
Thursdays, 11 am. A half-hour time of quiet prayer and Holy Communion, led by Rev Andrew Farrington.
here will be no service on Sunday 28th December.
The Covenant Service
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.
