NEW SUNDAY 10.30 PATTERN

Please see below for a summary of our new Sunday 10.30 pattern of services.

As we begin this new pattern, we’ll be reviewing things as we go and making adjustments where needed. Please bear with us as we work out what works well and what may need to change.

Above all, please pray that as we gather each Sunday, God will meet with us, draw us closer to him, and lead us as a church family.

Week 1 – Altogether Sunday Gathering together for worship, prayer and teaching as one intergenerational church family.

Week 2 – Options Sunday Beginning together in sung worship, followed by a choice of ways to engage: · Sermon (remain in main worship space) · Creative activity (in the Arches Rooms 1 & 2) · Bible study/discussion (in the Arches Room 5)

Week 3 – Altogether Communion Gathering together for intergenerational Holy Communion.

Week 4 – Sermon+ Sunday
Beginning together, with the option to: · Stay upstairs for an all-age talk · Move downstairs for a longer-form sermon

(Week 5 – Altogether)
In months with a fifth Sunday, we may offer additional options and explore age-specific provision.

ALPHA – THURSDAY 24 SEPTEMBER, 7.00 pm

Our Alpha is very soon now. Please sign up. Even if you want to come and just see what the first session is like – this would be great. You do not need to commit to the whole Alpha if you don’t like it. And please, bring along a friend. For full details and the sign-up page click here: ALPHA
