Currently due to COVID-19 we have one service which starts at 9:30am it is a traditional service with music.
You will be greeted at the door by our ushers and given a bulletin. Please make yourself comfortable and sit anywhere you wish. If you have any questions or get lost in the service, feel free to ask for help.
We have placed on hold the 8am traditional spoken service and 10:30am traditional service with music. Each service will start with our opening prayer followed by the lessons from the Bible, a sermon and the celebration of Holy Communion.
Our fellowship between services has been placed on hold. We look forward to the day when we can all join together in our new parish hall for a cup of tea/coffee and fellowship. Until then we pray for everyones safety and health so we can fellowship together again.

If you have not been baptized, just cross your arms to receive a blessing. All Christians who have been baptized may receive the bread and wine.
