If you're coming along for the first time, it can be helpful to know what to expect.

You might notice it’s quite a long walk down the path to the church door, where there will usually be a friendly person waiting to say hello as you go in. Do introduce yourself and have a quick chat if you would like to, otherwise just head straight inside.

Our church is accessible to wheelchair users and prams. You can come up the path and into the church as there are no steps. Inside the church there are accessible toilets, with a baby change area.

Inside, our welcomers will give you a service booklet, a hymn book, and a friendly hello. If you have children with you, then you can borrow a story bag with toys, books and colouring activities to use during the service, if you wish to do so. Please sit wherever you feel comfortable.

The service usually lasts just over an hour and includes Bible readings, prayers, a talk and hymns. The minister leading the service will let you know when most people usually sit down and stand up, but please do whatever feels comfortable for you.

The service includes Holy Communion. A welcomer will guide everyone who wishes to go to the front to one of the altar tables, when to do so. Everyone is welcome to come forward for a prayer of blessing. If you are Confirmed or usually receive the bread and wine in your own church, you are welcome to receive here. Or, you can remain in your seat if you would prefer.

After the service, we offer refreshments in the Green School, opposite the church. It's a lovely opportunity to get to know people and have a chat over a cup of coffee and a biscuit. You will be made very welcome.

The simple thing to remember is that, whoever you are, you are welcome here. Please do not feel you cannot come if you have never been to church before. There's no special dress code. Just come as you are - we'd love to see you.
