Crèche facilities are available at our second morning service. We also have our Children’s group, Noah’s Ark, and our youth activity ‘Revived’ during the second service. If your children or babies want to stay in throughout the service that’s fine but we would ask that if they become unsettled please feel free to take them out to either Crèche or Noah’s Ark.

Q: |
Is there a money collection? |
|
A: |
Yes there is a collection although many regular attendees give by bank standing order. If you have not come prepared for this, don’t worry; just pass the bag on to the next person. On the fourth and fifth Sunday mornings and second Sunday evening, after communion there is an additional offering for Family Fund, which seeks to help people in the church community who are in need.

|
Q: |
Should I take Communion? |
|
A: |
The bread and wine are available to all who believe Jesus to be their Saviour (it doesn’t matter what other church you might normally attend). If you don’t believe or are unsure, just let the bread and wine pass you by.
