You will receive a very warm welcome, particularly from the Door Steward, who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go.
Each service is different, but will normally include hymn singing, bible reading, prayers and a sermon.
An offering for the work of the Church and the wider Methodist Circuit is usually taken.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

Although we get few children visiting, we will provide activities suitable for the children's age.

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Not at all!
You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
