Holy Communion with Hymns
The 9:00am service offers a more traditional style of worship with hymns and Holy Communion. The service aims to finish by 9:50am so that those who have attended the 9:00am service can enjoy a coffee and chat with those who arrive to attend the 10:30am service.
Whatever your preferred style of worship, why not join us for refreshments between the two services?

First Sunday Service
This is a service for adults and held in the church building while the children and their carer[s] attend Messy Church in the church hall. [Please note Messy Church does not operate in January and August, and the First Sunday Service is then replaced by Together in Worship].
Every First Sunday Service service is designed for adults and is built around an aspect of living as a Christian in today's world. Each calendar year has a series of sermons with a common theme, but all provide teaching for those seeking to follow Jesus. Musically, modern worship songs predominate, which is combined with a minimum of liturgy, giving an informal service lasting about one hour..
