SUNDAY SERVICES

Morning- The congregation in the morning is between 80-100. Each Sunday morning a gospel message is preached as there are usually unbelievers in the morning congregation.

Evening- The congregation is slightly less in the evening and our Pastor usually has a message for the building up of the saints. At the conclusion of the evening service there is the opportunity for further fellowship as light refreshments are served.

All services-The form of service is "traditional" with the "authorised version" of the scriptures in use for public reading. Hymns are sung from "Christian Hymns" accompanied by organ and occasionally piano as well.
