Sunday Services – What to expect
Morning & Evening Service
Sunday’s 11:00am and 6:30pm
A reformed, expository ministry (designed to help people understand and face the truths of the Christian faith) with the emphasis firmly on a warm, practical application to the Christian life.
Bible
We use the New King James Version of the Bible – church bibles are available for use (on your left as you enter the church). At the beginning of a service we often read a Psalm together, with the service Leader reading the first verse, and the congregation the second verse, and so on through the Psalm.
Hymn Books
We use Christian Hymns and a Hymn Supplement (light green hymn book) – there should be copies in the holder on the chair in front of you when you sit down.
Loop System
A Loop System was installed by Action on Hearing Loss (formerly the RNID) in November 2015, so if your hearing aid has a ‘T’ position, this can be used to listen to the service.
Amenities
Toilets, including disabled access and baby change facilities, are situated to the rear of the main church hall on the left-hand side.
Collection
A collection is taken during the service – if you are visiting, don’t feel obliged or embarrassed, it is intended for those in regular attendance at the church who would like to give to support the work.
Building Access
There is ramp access at the left side of the building for wheel-chairs or push-chairs, and a crèche is held during the services (if needed).
Parking
The church has a carpark located on Sandfield Park (the road to the right of the church) – please make use of this when visiting the church.
Lord's Table (Communion)
The Lord’s Supper (or communion) is normally taken twice every month – on the first Sunday in the evening, and on the third Sunday in the morning. It is intended for those who are baptised and in membership and good-standing of like-minded churches, though anyone can stay and observe what goes on. (To aid practicality, the congregation are encouraged to sit in alternate rows during the communion part of the service – this enables the church Office Bearers to pass out the bread and wine more easily).
