FAQs

  • There’s no dress code – come as you are!
  • We’re an inclusive group of people of all ages and from all sorts of backgrounds, so don’t worry, you’ll fit right in!
  • We have a small car park. You’re welcome to use it if there’s a space free (we just have a couple of bays reserved). You can also park close by on the street.
  • Someone will welcome you at the door and hand out anything you need to follow the service
  • You’re welcome to sit anywhere

We have:

  • Step free access.
  • Assistance dogs are welcome.
  • Toilets in the hall with baby changing facilities.
  • Sound system with a hearing loop.
  • Space for wheelchairs – our welcomers will help you to find a space.
  • Large print words available – just ask the welcomers.
  • If you need a gluten free wafer please ask one of the welcomers on your way in.
  • If you’d like to receive communion or a blessing, but would find it awkward to come up to do so, just let the welcomers know and we’ll come to you!
  • Nothing’s compulsory! You don’t need to join in anything unless you want to.
  • You’ll be able to follow the service (including when we usually stand up and sit down) in the booklet you were handed at the door. Just ask anyone if you need help.
  • There’s a collection in the 9:15 am service, but please don’t feel you have to give.  Many of our regular worshippers give by standing order or direct debit, so quite a few people don’t put anything in the basket when it’s passed around: it won’t look odd! Thank you in advance for any donation you would like to make!
  • You’re welcome to take bread and wine with us if that’s what you are used to doing (we welcome all Christian traditions). If you would prefer a blessing, hang on to your service sheet as you come up to the front with everyone else and we’ll know that’s what you would prefer. Some people prefer just to stay where they’ve been sitting, so you won’t feel awkward if you don’t want to come forward.
  • The 9:15 am service on Sunday lasts about an hour (slightly shorter on the first Sundays of the month).
  • The service always has a mixture of hymns, Bible readings, a sermon or children’s talk, prayers and Holy Communion.
