Our Services
There
are three services on Sundays (9.00 a.m., 10.30
a.m. and 700 p.m.), each with a different
character.
The 9am
service is more formal than our other services and is either Morning Prayer
or Holy
Communion.
At
10.30am we have morning worship and teaching, or an occasional Family
Service and Family Communion on the third Sunday. Worship is led by gifted worship leaders, vocalists and
musicians using a wide variety of instruments as appropriate (organ, piano, keyboard, flute,
violin, guitar, bass and percussion). The
majority of the hymns and songs are from Songs of Fellowship. Dance and drama led by
our Creative Worship Group are incorporated from time to time. The children meet in their Cell Groups after opening worship
in the service, rejoining their parents
for Family Communion on the third Sunday.
A crèche is available for very young
children.
Coffee is normally
served after our 10-30 am service. At
7pm on the first Sunday of each month we have Informal Communion.
Evening
services tend to be more informal 'open' times of worship.
L8 is part of the evening service structure at
Christ
Church
on the second and forth Sundays . It is based on worship, teaching and fellowship. There is encouragement for
trainee preachers, worship leaders and hosts to ‘have a go’. The service is
committed to trying out new things and exploring different worship styles. The
format of the evening includes a break part way through for refreshments. A Prayer Ministry
team is available to pray with members of the congregation after all the Sunday
services.
The clergy do not usually robe for any of our services.
The laity play a considerable role in all aspects of worship, prayer and teaching
during services.
All who love
the Lord and have been baptised are welcome to share in the Bread and Wine
at The Lord's Table.
