What Can I Expect At A Meeting?

One of our main meetings during the week is Sunday At Ten. It is the focal point of our church life - the whole church family gathers every Sunday morning to praise and thank God for all he has done, to pray and hear his Word, the Bible. We meet at 10am in our main church building for about 75 minutes. Our priority when we meet is to read part of the Bible and have it explained to us. Each meeting will be led by a member of our congregation who will explain what is going on and when to stand up and sit down. All the words you need will be projected on a screen. You can use a service sheet if you prefer. You will also be given a weekly newsletter.

As well as having a Bible reading and a talk, we also do various other things on a Sunday morning including:

Singing - we sing new and older songs
Confession - we tell God we are sorry for ignoring him and ask for forgiveness because of Jesus.
Church Family News - notices are given about things happening in our Church.
Children's Talk - there is a three-minute talk for our children followed by a special children's song.
Sunday School - there is a full Sunday school programme run by trained helpers for children aged 3 to 14.
Crèche - we have a fully-staffed crèche available each Sunday for under-3s so parents can get a break and stay in the meeting.
Creed - we declare together the core truths we believe.
Prayers - we thank God for who He is and we ask God for His help.

After the meeting we spend a while catching up with one another over a cup of tea or coffee.

What Should I Wear?

It's entirely up to you what you wear, we'd just love to meet you! Most people dress casually. Some people wear shorts and others wear ties - but normally not at the same time.

Will I Be Expected To Do Anything?

You won't be expected to do anything - you are welcome just to sit and listen or join in as you wish. It would be great to meet you at the tea and coffee time after the formal part of our meeting has ended.
