UNITED EMMANUEL CHURCH

We are a Local Ecumenical Partnership of the United Reformed and Methodist Churches, so incorporate elements of the two traditions, but always with the love of God at our centre.

We seek to serve our Saviour Jesus Christ by deepening our fellowship, strengthening our commitment to mission within our own immediate community and working with other churches in our town to minister to those in need. We recognise our wider responsibility as members of the worldwide Church to respond to the call to support God’s work both in this country and abroad.

WORSHIP @ UNITED

SUNDAY WORSHIP

We gather for worship each Sunday morning at 10:30am, our services last about an hour.  We sing a variety of hymns and worship songs.  Worship centres around the Word of God  in scripture (the Bible) and includes readings, prayers, times for reflection and a message or sermon.  On the second Sunday we share the Lord’s Supper (Holy Communion).  After our time of worship we share refreshments and a time of fellowship.

CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE

Although we do not have a Junior Church meeting separately, people of all ages are welcome to worship.  We have a selection of toys and games for younger children and are happy to provide activities and resources for older children.  If you would like to find out more please contact our Pastoral Assistant.

TUESDAY LUNCHTIME WORSHIP

Each Tuesday we welcome folk to join in worship for a lunchtime service from 12:15 – 12:45pm.  Our congregation on these occasions is made up from members of a number of different local congregations representing different Christian traditions.  We invite different ministers, church leaders, local preachers and others to lead us and share God’s Word.  Our services are normally traditional in style and include hymns, prayers, a Bible reading and a reflection or message.

We share refreshments and a time of fellowship after our worship.

 

HOME GROUPS

Would you like to be part of a small, welcoming group? Together we can explore the questions of life and faith in a supportive environment.  Why not join  one of our home groups? Some meet weekly, others monthly. Currently we are looking at the Big Story, an overview of the Bible and what is means in our lives.For full details please contact our Home Group Coordinator, Ian Beavis via email: iancbeavis59@gmail.com

ECO CHURCH

The care of God’s creation is central to our faith, who we are, and what we do. We aim to “live lightly” in God’s wonderful world using fair-trade and ethical products. We are pleased to have been awarded the Bronze Award by Eco-Church, but aim to do much, much better in the future.  If you care for our planet is something you are concerned about why not come and join us?
