On Sunday morning we have our main gathering at Amazing Grace. We begin at 11am with an open time of praise and prayer. Every second Sunday we also have a time of Communion when we take the symbols of bread and wine to remind us of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for our sin. Around 11.45am the children go out to children’s church to learn about Christian faith in a way that is fun and engaging for their age group. This also gives parents the opportunity to be more engaged in what is happening.
We then listen & respond to a message based on the Bible. We believe the Bible is God’s Word & therefore we place high value on careful & consistent Biblical preaching. The Bible more than anything else helps us to grow in our understanding of who God is, what the Gospel is, & how to grow in Christian faith. Throughout our time together we also aim to be open to the gifts & ministry of the Holy Spirit. He’s the one who helps us praise, pray & minister to one another, & his immediate presence makes the worship, communion & preaching real in our hearts & lives. All this serves to help us grow together in Christ.
At the end of the meeting we encourage everyone to stay behind for a cup of tea or coffee. This gives people time to catch up & get to know each other better. This is an important part of our time together.
It says of the early church in Acts 2:42; “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” It is our desire to simply do the same, not just in our main gathering but in all we do as a church.
