Family Worship 9:30 am
including Junior Church for ages 4 up to teenage
Morning service is a relatively lively, informal time with everyone worshipping together for the first 15 - 20 minutes before the children go to their own time in Junior Church. We use a variety of styles of music and the service lasts around an hour, a bit longer when we celebrate communion.
Very young children stay in church with their parents or grandparents etc. , or there is a creche with toys in the meeting room , where children can have more freedom to play and move about. The sound from the church is piped through to the creche so that parents may still follow the service.
Refreshments are served after the morning service so do please stay to say hello and have a chat.
All Age Service
We also worship all together for the whole time once a month in our All Age service which is held on the 3rd Sunday of the month.
This service aims to involve more people in leading worship in different ways, in a style particularly taking account of the children and young people.
Evening
Service6:00pm
The evening service is a smaller congregation and is usually based around a more traditional format of hymns, prayers, reading and preaching. This is in the form of a Circuit Service on the first Sunday of each month-held at various venues. (See Calendar Page.) On the 3rd Sunday there will be a communion service. Services are not planned regularly for 2nd and 4th Sundays.
Circuit Evening Service
On the first Sunday evening of each month all the congregations from around the Biggleswade Methodist Circuit worship together in one place.
It varies from month to month where we are so please check the notice board outside or the Circuit preaching plan for details.
Communion
We celebrate the Lord’s Supper, communion, about once a month in the morning and once a month in the evening.
We believe that it is the Lord who invites people to come to His table to receive from Him. Therefore anyone is welcome to receive bread and wine if they feel it will help their faith in Christ. You will be guided by a steward when it is time to come forward.
No one need feel any pressure to receive if they do not wish to. A few people come forward to receive a prayer of blessing instead of bread and wine, others simply remain in their seat if they do not wish to receive.
