Who are we? |
|

Welcome to our Worship |
|
We are a small, but welcoming congregation, worshipping in a mix of formal and informal styles. We use the most up to date forms of worship now prescribed by the Church of England. |
Our MusicMusic is provided by a live music group, using modern songs and hymns, without losing touch with the ever popular ‘traditional’ hymns. We try to bring fresh insights into praise, worship and a new meaning into people’s lives that new words and music often inspire. Children and Young PeopleWe always encourage children of every age to join in and every week we have a DVD, displayed on an overhead, to play one of the more modern children’s songs, in which they lead the grown-ups with actions and song. We have a Sunday School most every week, but not in school holidays and not if it’s a Family Service. Children retire to the vestry whilst the sermon is preached. |
What we believe |
|
• that God loves each and every one of us. |
|
• that God has made it possible for us to know him. |
|
• that Jesus is the Son of God and a gift of love to us. |
|
• that accepting Jesus as Lord of our life brings us into relationship with God. |
