***

 

Welcome to God’s house.   We are here to worship God and share his company, so relax and enjoy his loving presence.

 

Everyone is invited to sit in the pews at the beginning of the service, especially families, so that parents can help the children to learn appropriate behaviour before our heavenly Father.

 

A creche is provided for babies and toddlers at the back of the church.

 

3 year olds and upwards will find Young Church activities to choose, in the cosy corner.   Parents are invited to accompany their young ones whenever they need a change.

 

Please move during hymn singing where possible.

 

A loop system for the hard of hearing is available.

 

Please switch off your mobile telephone

All stand and sing as the Bible is carried into the church.

 

Jesus, name above all names,

Beautiful Saviour, glorious Lord,

Emmanuel, God is with us,

Blessed Redeemer, living Word.

 

The Bible is placed on the lectern.

 

Let us worship God

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins

As we forgive those who sin against us.

Save us from the time of trial

And deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours

Now and forever.                                                      Amen.
