Our Sunday morning service is from 11am – 12.15pm every Sunday. During the service there is a time of lively communal singing – usually a mix of traditional hymns and more modern worship songs.
The centerpiece of the service is the challenging word taken from the Bible given by our Pastors or guest speakers. The main focus of the Word is for practical life application to encourage and help us in our everyday lives so that we become the people God has called us to be. There is also a time of open thanksgiving to God for sending His Son to die for us on the cross taking the punishment for our sins.
This is then followed by Communion when all those who have asked Jesus to be their Saviour are invited to partake of the bread and wine as we remember Jesus’ sacrifice for us. The ministry of prayer for the sick or various needs is also available. The service is not planned in order to allow the flow and prompting of the Holy Spirit and allow God to move and work.
