WHAT HAPPENS IN MORNING WORSHIP?The morning service is family orientated. There are Crèche facilities as well as two Sunday School classes and a Bible Class for teenagers during the service. The sermon is geared more towards enquirers and younger Christians rather than established Christians, although obviously everyone is welcomed and encouraged to join us and will gain
benefit from the service as we worship God together and learn from Him together.
NOTES: The service is generally an hour long with the emphasis being to hear what God says in the Bible, realising why we
need to take notice of what it says every day of our lives, and to declare
the praises of God in song and prayer. The service is open to anyone and
everyone is welcome to join us. For those who are hard of hearing the church is fitted with a loop system, whilst for anyone with young children crèche facilities are available. Tea and coffee are served afterwards when there is an opportunity
to ask questions, chat, and get to know each other.
WHAT HAPPENS IN EVENING WORSHIP?
Evening worship is more for established Christians than Morning Worship.
We meet together as a church to worship God in song, prayer, and learning from His word via the sermon. There is always opportunity to chat, ask questions, etc. after the service.
NOTES: The service is about an hour long and the emphasis
of the sermon is on providing a place for more established Christians to
learn and grow through accurate exposition and application of God's word,
the Bible. Our aim is that we may better understand who God is and be better
equipped to serve him in the world around us. Along with the sermon we
aim to give God glory and honour through song and prayer. The service is
open to any who would like to come.
For Anyone who would like to join us as we ask for God's
help in the up coming meeting.
VENUE: DRBC - Back Room
TIME: Every Sunday 10:30am and 6:00pm
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE PRAYER MEETING?
Half an hour before morning and evening worship we get together to pray specifically
about the coming service for 15 minutes or so. People are welcome to join us as we bring our immediate concerns before God for the service
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE COMMUNION SERVICE?
In the communion service we spend a short time listening to God's word and singing of Him
and to Him, to bring us in to the right attitude to take bread and wine. The focus of the service is the communion itself. We follow Jesus command to remember his sacrifice by eating bread, symbolising his body which was broken for us on the cross, and drinking wine, symbolising his blood which was shed to cover over our sins before God. By God's grace and our faith we take part in his death and so are included in his resurrection and eternal
life.
NOTES: Because of the nature and purpose of communion
we ask that only baptised believers take communion with us. Others are
more than welcome to stay and see what goes on. Visitors are asked to
see a duty deacon to indicate their wish take communion.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CRÈCHE? The crèche facility is available to anyone who would like to come but has small children to look after. The crèche has various toys and games. You can sit in the service whilst a church member takes care of the children in your care. If there is a problem during the service they will come and get you. Alternatively you can sit in the crèche with your children.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL? The Sunday School starts with everyone sat together for a quiz or similar to go over the things done the week before. We sing a song or two as well and then split into groups by age, each group going to a different table to do the lesson for the week. The work done at the tables involves a Bible story and craft activities around that story. The aim is to teach the children about what God says he is like, and what he has accomplished through his son Jesus Christ. The primary Sunday School does similar things with the younger children in the primary room
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BIBLE CLASS?: We follow a course of Bible Studies covering all the main people and events in the Old and New Testaments. This is done by reading the Bible together; question and answer sessions; quizzes; and with the occasional video. There are two outings in the year as well. Each member has a folder to keep the handouts and any notes made.
For anyone but especially enquirers and new Christians
VENUE: DRBC - Church Hall
TIME: During the morning service or on a midweek evening. See notes below for details of the current/next course.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CHRISTIANITY EXPLAINED COURSE? Christianity Explained is a six session Bible study in Mark's gospel for people who are unfamiliar with the Bible and want to find out more about what it says and find out more about Jesus of Nazareth. Each session consists of a 20 minute presentation followed by an opportunity to ask questions which may arise from it. Bibles will be available for people to check out what has, and is being, said. No one is expected to answer questions from the Bible passages looked at, or read anything out from the Bible. It is hoped it will be a fairly informal atmosphere where people can ask the questions they have always wanted to, or that come up during discussion.
This course provides a very good introduction to who Jesus is and what it means to be one of his followers. It is hoped that church members will feel able to take interested friends and relatives through the course as well as there being centrally run courses.
NOTES: There is not a Christianity Explained course running at the moment, but if you are interested in attending this course or would simply like some more information about what is involved, please do e-mail us (or, if you prefer, you could come to one of our Sunday Services and ask for more information then).
NOTES: The service is generally an hour long with the emphasis being to hear what God says in the Bible, realising why we
need to take notice of what it says every day of our lives, and to declare
the praises of God in song and prayer. The service is open to anyone and
