New Service Times
February 2026
From 1st February onwards…
We’ll be moving to three morning services at 9:00am, 10:30am, and 12:00pm.
These will be 1 hour in length and be ‘repeats’ – distinct from our 6pm service, which will continue as normal.
We know that any change brings a degree of uncertainty, so we’d really value your prayers. Please thank God for the opportunity to make more room for guests and visitors, and for the flexibility that these new service times offer. Pray too that slightly smaller gatherings will help people connect more easily and foster a deeper sense of belonging within our church family. Most of all, let’s pray for gospel growth – that He would be growing His Kingdom in our small part of the world.

Information to be aware of…
We know that running three morning services back to back is going to be logistically more challenging - so here are some things to be aware of:
BEFORE / AFTER SERVICES
To support our ushers, welcome people well and keep disruption to a minimum… we’ll be using a 10min ‘buzzer’ ahead of the next service - just as a reminder to grab your things and allow people for the next service to come in and get a seat.
There will also be a countdown timer on screen and the music team will start playing 5mins before each service - just as a final reminder that the next service is beginning.
If you are able to use the ‘middle door’ as an exit that would be super-helpful.
CAR PARKING
Our setup team have been working on a new ‘flow’ for the car-park - where cars will come in at the entrance closest to the building and leave from the one at the far end.
The area outside of the front doors will now be able to be driven through - but please be aware of children and give way to people leaving the building.
Making the most of the new service times
How can we make the most of Sundays when we go to three morning services in 2026? What can we do with reduced social time between meetings? Martin has four suggestions...
1. Think creatively about hospitality before or after services.
2. Arrive early for the social crossover.
3. Come to the 6pm services when there's much more time to chat after.
4. Join a service team to strengthen friendships and serve side-by-side.
