Sundays - you’re invited!
We have three services on Sundays; Church@9, 1045 and Encounter. They all have their unique flavour and you are welcome at all of them!
Church@9
Church@9 is a contemporary service that has a wonderful relaxed, informal feel.
Our desire is that you will be encouraged and uplifted as you encounter God through worship, prayer and teaching from the Bible.
-
We all gather in worship at the start of our service. After 10-15 minutes there are children’s groups (for ages 3-11) that run alongside the main service so that they can enjoy worship, teaching and craft activities that are fun and engaging for them. This leaves parents/carers free to engage with the rest of the service knowing their children are safely being looked after.
If you are bringing a baby or toddler (age 0-2 years), we have a relaxed play area in the church for you, if you wish to take advantage of it. This is a space for you and your child to freely use at any time during the service and use the available play resources.
We always love having children in our service and we’re not worried if they wander around and make a bit of noise!
The first Sunday of the month is a time of ‘worship for everyone’, where we all stay together in church for a service designed for all ages to engage with and encounter Jesus.
Both before, and after, our service we serve free refreshments in our cafe. It’s the perfect place to chat and enjoy being the family of God together.
1045
The 1045 is a more traditional service in its style. Each 1045 service uses a mixture of traditional hymns and more modern, contemporary songs as well as some liturgy.
-
We use liturgy to help us in our worship as well as a range of classic and modern hymns and songs. We love studying God’s Word and are blessed with lots of great preachers and teachers, who help us to apply the teaching to our lives. As well as regular opportunities to share testimonies of how God has been at work in our lives during the week, we also celebrate communion twice a month. Tea and coffee are served in the cafe before the 10:45am service.
Encounter
We meet twice a month in the evenings.
On the first Sunday of the month we meet at St Mary’s at 6.30pm with a focus on worship and ministry.
On the third Sunday of the month we meet at All Saints Hampreston, with a focus on seeking God’s presence and blessing for us and those around us in prayer and worship.
