Worship Services
We use the ESV translation of the Bible, though one can use most modern Bibles to read along without too much difficulty. For singing we use the Book of Praise: Anglo-Genevan Psalter. Copies of both books can be found in the entrance hall should one require them. Please see the ushers.
As a guest, please do not hesitate to see the ushers if you require anything. If you need somewhere to stay between the services or just want to get to know us better, we have a host family every week who will be more than happy to accommodate you.
As a Reformed church our worship service is quite structured and formal. This is because we have taken to heart what Paul teaches us in 1 Corinthians 14:40 “…everthing should be done in a fitting and orderly way.”
