Ordinary people – extraordinary God

To share the good news of God’s transforming love through worship, learning, caring and serving, through showing it in our daily lives and in so doing to see the church grow.

• To prepare the rented hall for weekly worship by setting it up in ways which are honouring to God and meaningful to existing and potential new members. To make the best use of the resources available including sound system and projection facility and to be flexible in how we set up the hall for worship as we seek to encourage new people to join us.
• To explore new ways of making worship and church activities attractive to children, young people and families. To host Messy Church at least once each quarter.
• To invite our neighbours to ‘special’ services throughout the year; to include Harvest Celebration, Remembrance Sunday, Christmas Carol Service, Christmas Eve Candlelight Service, Easter Celebration and Mothering Sunday.
• To be welcoming and inclusive during worship and weekday meetings. We will use the ‘First Impressions Count’ material as a resource to improve our welcome. Suggestions for improvement by end of July.
• To reflect God’s love for all people by working with and within the community organising, leading and sharing in events; to include Lantern Procession, Act of Remembrance, craft events, Summer Fete; always planning to include children.
• To commence meeting on a weekday from September. This new space to be used to grow the church spiritually, (bible study, discussion, prayer), and numerically, (invitation, social activities and friendship).

Our dream is for our church to be a place where the worship of our extraordinary God is central to all activities and where ordinary people of all ages enjoy being with God and with each other.
