The pattern of worship is as follows:
9.30am every Sunday - a service in the Ark Room. It is an informal cafe style service around tables, using computer images and a variety of different media. There are opportunities for discussion, activities and interaction and incorporates many modern songs. We offer work with children and young people at this service, but all ages attend It is called 'Worship @ The Crossroads'. Use the entrance door at the side of the church.
9.00am on 3rd Sunday - Early Morning Communion.
11.00am every Sunday- there is a service upstairs in the church. This remains largely a typical Methodist style of service of hymns, prayer and preaching. Communion will take place on the first Sunday of each month. There will be occasional joint services with 'Worship @ The Crossroads'.

Tea and coffee will be served downstairs in the Ark Room at 10.30 after Worship @ The Crossroads and before 11.00am Morning Worship. If you are a newcomer or a visitor to the Church we invite you to talk to a Steward.
If you would like prayers for a person or event included in the service, please make a note on a Prayer Card which may be found in the foyer, and place it on the plate. If you need help please ask a Welcome Steward. Any notices which have missed the weekly notice sheet should be handed to the stewards before 9.30am

LENT 2010
Lent Prayer Focus / Prayer Cards
During Lent (23rd Feb. – 25th March) we will be holding three weekly times of prayer in the Prayer Room. These will provide an opportunity for prayer, reflection or just a few moments of peace in a busy day. The sessions will be on Tuesdays 6.30-7.30pm, Wednesdays 1.00-2.00pm and Thursdays 9.30-10.30am. We will also be praying for the local community. Prayer cards have been delivered asking for prayer requests. For your own prayer requests, prayer cards can be found around church and in the prayer room. They can be left in the Prayer Room. Also, please take some prayer cards and give them to people you know who might like prayer or who might like to know that the church is thinking about them.
