Follow the service in the Red Book found behind each seat unless you are given a sheet at the door for special holy day services like Christmas and Easter.
School age children sit with their parents for the first hymn. After this, during the Gloria, they are led out by one of the children carrying the red bible and the wooden cross to Junior Church in the Church Hall.
Jubilate Service – On the first Sunday of each month the children join in for the whole main 10.00am service. The music is a bit more upbeat and the sermon aimed at the children.
Taize Service – Held fortnightly Sundays 8.20am in St Wilfrid’s Church Hall and St Paul’s Church Hall alternately. (See noticeboard outside hall for dates) Short service with bacon butty breakfast at 9.00. Good practice for the main Sunday service with a more relaxed feel and lots of smaller children. It still feels a bit uncomfortable when they are very noisy but it’s mostly families so it may not be so nerve-wracking. Join the bacon rota for networking opportunity.
Evening Service – Mainly, but not exclusively, used by adults. Perhaps you could leave the kids at home and get some precious quiet time for your own reflection.
…can join in with Junior Church in the hall or sit in church with you.
