What are services like?
When I arrive
Don't worry about coming in, if the door is closed it's just because it's cold outside!
Service sheets, hymn books, and hand sanitiser are available. You can also ask the welcomer if you have any questions about the service.
Translation
At the Hub Service we translate our sermons into Farsi and we use a projector for the liturgy to make it easier for speakers of other languages to follow along.
Taking Communion
Usually, we meet for Holy Communion/mass/eucharist/Lord’s Supper- whatever you know it as! The belief that God meets us in ordinary reality is the heart of our community life.
All baptised people of any denomination are invited to receive communion, we receive wine from a common cup and it is entirely optional.
Alternatively, you are invited to receive a blessing, if you would prefer this just keep your hands together and head bowed when you come forward.
Gluten free bread is available, just let a welcomer or the clergy know before the service if you need this.
Junior church
Children are very welcome to join us, and are valued as much as any adult member of our congregation. We often have activities specifically for children and we will let you know at the time. We also have a children's corner and children are welcome to use the books, toys, and craft supplies!
Collections
We are always grateful for donations, but you are welcome in our churches without any pressure or expectation to give.
If you can, set up a standing order or give digitally if you can, or there will be a bowl at the back of church to give something physically.
Live stream video
We live stream the Hub service on social media every week. If you would prefer not to appear on camera then just let us know and we can direct you to a seat where you won't be visible.
