Some come casually dressed while others come more smartly dressed. The choice is yours, however you come you will be most welcome. Music and Songs: We sing songs and hymns mostly from our hymn book [Mission Praise] but all are projected on the screen. We generally have one or two Bible readings, times of prayer . You are free to stand or sit as you wish. We celebrate Holy Communion on the 1st Sunday in the month. All are invited, adults and children. Depending on the song either the pipe organ or piano is used. Sound Recordings: The talk or sermon is recorded onto our website for people who wish to catch up afterwards. |
