A Warm Hello
The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.
Where and When
We meet at Rushcliffe school (map here) for our Sunday Service starting at about 10.30am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early as there is lots going on at the school and it can take a while to find a parking space and to walk through to A Hall.
Once in the car park, follow the people heading up past the front of the building and through the pedestrian gate and then follow our signs and flags which will direct you to A Hall.
Once through the door, we have a welcome desk, some notice boards and then doors leading into the hall.
Accessibility:
If you struggle to walk please get in contact beforehand as we can open a gate for you to drive much closer to the entrance and park.
The hall is wheelchair accessible and boasts the only toilet on site for wheelchair users. If you think you may need the toilet please make sure you are shown the way.
If you struggle to hear, let us know beforehand, so we can work out the best way to help you.
We show song words on screen, but for those struggling to see, we also have big word copies available on the welcome desk.
Our Sunday Services
The service begins at about 10.30am with a welcome and notices followed by a time of sung worship, led by our band. This lasts through to about 11am.
After that we take time to pray and listen to each other. This can take some time if there is a particular issue we want to pray through or if lots of people have something to share about what God has been saying to them. We try and use a hand-held microphone to make it easier for people to hear what is being said from the congregation.
We usually have a prepared talk and conclude with some final sung worship.
Once a month (the third Sunday of the month), we also share communion together.
Refreshments
After the formal part of the service is finished, we serve tea and coffee and chat with each other. There is also an opportunity to pray for one another
Breakfasts
One the first Sunday of the month we do things differently starting with breakfast (something hot as well as bread and cheese and fruit). This is ready from about 10:15am
We spend time around the tables talking and have a shorter more formal service from about 11am.
What about my children?
At the moment we don't have children taking part on Sunday mornings, but we always have something prepared for visiting children and youth if they want to take time away from their parents.
We do run a milkshake bar for teenagers every Wednesday during term time and secondary school children are always welcome to join us between 3.30 and 5.00pm at Renew 37
Getting Connected
Small Groups
While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Small Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.
Community involvement
As well as church groups, we are also involved in the community particularly through our Wellbeing lounge "Renew 37." Have a look at Community involvement for more information.
