When I come to St. Paul's Bretch Hill for the first time, what can I expect to see?

• Someone on the door to welcome you and show you where to go.
• No pews or rows of seats (as we meet in the Sunshine Centre, not a traditional church building); we sit round cafe-style tables.
• Friendly members of our church family who are always willing to chat.
• A relaxed, friendly and informal atmosphere. 

What time should I get there?

• The service starts every Sunday morning at 10.30am, but you can arrive any time you like from 10am onwards. 

What's the service like?

• We sing some Christian songs, there are some prayers, we read the bible and there is a talk about the bible reading.
• After the talk, we have a break for food and drinks (usually pastries, cakes and fruit) and have a chance to chat to each other during the break. Then we chat a bit more about the topic of the talk, and sing again.
• By the way, the food is always free. 
• During the service, you can join in as much as you like, or just sit quietly - no pressure either way. 
• When we sing, some people prefer to stay seated, some prefer to stand. Either is fine. 
• The service lasts 90 minutes (including the break in the middle).

What about my children? 

• ​We don't have separate groups for children, we all stay together as one big family. Children of all ages (and their noise!) are always welcome.
• We have some activity bags for young children, and resources for drawing, colouring and puzzles related to the bible reading for older children who want them.
• ​There is plenty of space and we don't mind young children wandering around.

Do I have to dress up?

• No! We are very informal, so wear anything you like - just come as you are!
