In past services ...

... we have confessed our faith together using words from the church of all ages. The words of these confessions, creeds and catechisms are available elsewhere on the site, so that you can reflect on them in your private and family devotions.

Iain Campbell has a challenging blog about the blessings of gathering for worship with the people of God that is well worth pondering: The assembling of ourselves together, reformation 21 blog, 14 Nov 2008.

Hearing Loop

Hearing Loop Installed. Switch hearing aid to T-coil We have an induction loop system installed. This is a special amplifier that transmits a magnetic signal through a wire that encircles our main hall. Hearing aids can now serve as personal in-the-ear loudspeakers. Hearing aid wearers with a 'T' (telecoil) setting can now hear the service broadcast directly through their hearing aids, free from the background noise which commonly interferes with most hearing aids. The loop system was installed to help provide a clear hearing of the Gospel to all.

More information about loop systems can be found at HearingLoop.org.
