Public Worship takes place each Sunday at 11.00am and 7.00pm.
The Minister seeks to preach Biblically, applying the Scriptures in a relevant way
to our lives today, calling people of all ages to personal faith in Jesus Christ
as Lord and Saviour, and challenging those with faith to deepen their commitment
and express their faith in love and service. The Choir and Band lead the musical
aspects of the worship blending together the lively and the dignified, the traditional
and the contemporary, in a way that brings the best our of the different styles.
As well as a sermon there us usually a special talk appropriate for children, and
from time to time drama, dialogues, responsive prayers and readings and other participatory
elements are included in worship. A Data Projection System brings another dimension
to worship. People of all ages are welcome, and visitors, enquirers and seekers especially
so.
The Lord’s Supper is celebrated in the morning on the first Sunday in October, Advent
Sunday, the first Sunday in Lent and Trinity Sunday (this last is sometimes Pentecost,
depending on the calendar); and in the evening on the first Sunday in January and
Easter Day. The four morning Communion services are preceded on the Friday by a Preparation
Service at 8.00pm and that Sunday concluded with a Thanksgiving Service of Prayer
and Praise.
At morning worship there is Cradle Club for infants, Kids For Christ (KFC) for children
up to the end of Primary School and, every other Sunday, SWITCH for young people
in forms 1 - 4 at Secondary Level. Every 6 weeks on so we have an ALL IN service
for which children and young people stay in the church, with elements of the service
relevant to all ages.
On the thirds Sunday of most months there is a Youth Evening, designed to connect
with teenagers and young adults.
