9:30am All-Age Informal Worship
Open to anyone who wants to come along, with activities for adults as well as children of all ages.
This service lasts around 40 minutes. The early service will be conducted in the sanctuary.
The music is contemporary, the prayers are participative, the educational activities for children are age appropriate, including drama, games, modelling, drawing and eating to name but some of the activities. The adults have an opportunity to look more deeply at passages of the Bible always with a view to their modern (or post-modern) applicability to life.
10:15am Coffee
A chance to meet and have a chat either after or before your service
depending on your preferred style of worship.
10:45am Traditional Worship
Open to anyone who wants to come along, lasts 1 hour and is held in the sanctuary (enter Mayfield Road). The music is varied, including traditional hymns and modern songs. The organ is the principal instrument, but a variety of instruments are used from time to time. The service offers more reflective worship, with choir contributions, and the sermon is a central part of the worship. This service offers both high quality worship and in-depth reflection on passages of the Bible, and always with a view to the Bible's applicability to life today.
Coffee is served after this service also.
7:00pm Evening Prayers
Open to anyone who wants to come along, lasts 30 minutes and is held in the south transept of the sanctuary (entrance on Mayfield Road).
This is a read service, with mostly quiet reflective music (including Taize and Iona songs and chants), with responsorial psalms and prayers. The principal instrument is piano, though flute and unaccompanied singing is also experienced often. Silence forms a significant part of this service. The service is intended to be therapeutic and spiritual in flavour rather than with an emphasis on education.
