GROWING STRONGER THROUGH WORSHIP

During August 2010, our Sunday worship services are as follows:

Sunday, 1 August 2010	9.30 am 11.15 am 1.30pm 7pm	Holy Communion Service of the Word, with children’s group Baptism Service Praise, Prayer and Worship
Sunday, 8 August 2010	9.30am 11.15am	Holy Communion (Common Worship) Family Communion, with children's groups/activities
Sunday, 15 August	9.30am 11.15am 1.30pm	Holy Communion (Common Worship) Service of the Word, with children's groups/activities Baptism service
Sunday, 22 August 2010	9.30am 11.15am	Holy Communion (Common Worship) Family Communion, with children's groups/activities
Sunday, 29 August 2010	9.30am 11.15am	Holy Communion (Common Worship) Service of the Word, with children's groups/activities

We try to make everything about our services "user-friendly" with comfortable chairs, good lighting and sound, and a warm welcome is assured.

We aim to make the content of our services relevant to our culture and community.  Our earlier Sunday morning service, weekly at 9.30am, is a ‘Common Worship’ Communion service and is traditional in style and music.  The later morning service, weekly at 11.15am, has a more contemporary worship style, with the worship band of talented musicians and singers.  In addition to the preaching and teaching offered at the 11.15am service, there are groups for children and young people (Fusion, Champions and Little Champs) with activities, worship, music, etc relevant to the different age groups.

We often include audio/visual presentations, and we have a team of people who are always available to pray with those who request it after each of our services. 

We also hold regular baptismal services, which are usually held at 1.30pm.

EVENINGS AND WEEKDAYS INCLUDED ...

In addition to the Sunday services, we also have daily prayer and prayer evenings (see the Diary for further details), and each Thursday morning at 10am there is a service of worship where we particularly pray through all the requests for prayer which have been posted on our prayer bulletin board.
