  • 9.15 am : Sing Out/Sunday School

    We have singing practise and Sunday School before our meeting every Sunday at 9.15am. All members are encouraged to come, and visitors are welcome.

    Learning the songs, and practising them not only brings joy, it adds to the richness of our corporate worship. The purpose of singing in worship is to express the unity of the body of Christ in praising and adoring him, and to build one another up in his word. The bible tells us to sing a joyful song to the Lord. Tunefulness is optional, but choir practice can certainly help in this regard.

    Encourage each other with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord. Ephesians 5:19-20

  • 10:00 am : Service

    Our Sunday service includes singing, preaching, the Lord’s Supper and prayers of intercession.

    We practise weekly communion with a family cup, and encourage respectful and worthy participation by adults and children of households of faith.

    We understand the Sunday morning gathering as an assembly of God’s people before God’s holy throne, and treat the meeting with due reverence and respect. This is to be reflected in how we behave and dress, with an old-fashioned “Sunday best” approach.

    Morning tea is always served at the end of the service, and is valued as an opportunity for fellowship and encouragement.

  • Family Integrated Worship

    Our main 10am service includes children. We run a Sunday School for junior church goers (under 10 years) at 9.15am, at the same time as our singing practice.

    We provide an area in church for young children to play quietly, as well as colouring options and sermon note sheets for older children.

    We welcome your whole family.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light

MATTHEW 11:28-30
