What to Expect
We really are ordinary people, so we hope and pray that you will take us as we are. We will welcome you and might even make a bit of a fuss over you as we seek to ensure that you are comfortable with us and the building.
Merredin Services:
The Worship service starts at 10am, or at least, as soon as we can get organised. (We do have a Faith2Face session which begins at 9am and you are welcome to join us for the Bible Study. It lasts about 20 minutes via a video link and then we have a brief discussion time with tea/coffee and raisin toast to keep us energised!)
The format of the service follows a fairly regular pattern, but sometimes we like to make changes.
