What are services like?
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Our Sunday services are a precious opportunity to gather as a church family and worship God together by singing, praying and exploring the Bible.
Covid-19 Update - April 2021
In order to keep everyone safe during Covid-19, we've had to make a few changes to our services.
The church building has reopened for Sunday morning services (streamed live on Youtube) and our evening service takes place on Zoom.
We are currently limited to 50 people in the building, so please let us know here if you would like to attend our morning service in the building (there is usually always room). We also require your contact details for Trace and Protect purposes.
Alternatively, if you'd like to join us online for the morning or evening service, you can find out more here.
All those who attend the morning service in the building are required to wear a mask for the duration of the service.
Teas, coffees and refreshments will not be served whilst Covid-19 regulations are in place. Everyone must exit the building immediately after the service. However, we are still able to chat with one another outside, socially distanced.Worshipping together is vital to the growth and development of our faith in God. When we come to church, we are reflecting a desire to be under the power of God’s revealed word. It is also an opportunity to approach God in a way that reflects the biblical patterns of worship.
Where and what time are services?
We gather together twice on a Sunday at 11.00am and 5.00pm at our building on 7 Jackson Place in Eliburn, Livingston. You can find a map here.
What happens during the service?
Everyone who comes along is given a warm welcome at the front door and if you need a Bible or Sing Psalms book, we have plenty available inside the church.
Our worship services typically follow the pattern below and last for about one hour:
- Welcome
- Opening Praise (we sing Psalms)
- Opening Prayer
- Message for the Children
- Praise
- Reading the Bible
- Second Prayer
- Praise
- Sermon (normally around 25-30 mins)
- Closing Praise
- Concluding Prayer and Benediction
What normally happens after the service?
After the service, hot and cold drinks and refreshments are served in the hall. This is a great opportunity to catch up with each other and meet new people.
Visitors are encouraged to stay for tea and coffee if they are able – we are a very friendly church, and this is a perfect opportunity for us to meet and get to know you!
Creche
A creche facility is available for young children who are attending the Sunday morning service.
Sunday School & Bible Class
We have Sunday School and Bible Class for young people from P1 up to S3. Find out more here.
Accessibility
Our building has wheelchair access at the front of the building and accessible toilets on the ground floor. Should you have any accessibility requirements, please speak to our welcome team who will be happy to assist you.
