Why should I bother with church on a Sunday evening?
Manvers street Baptist Church have developed new ways of using that time of the week.
There is still a regular Communion Service every 4th Sunday.
But we have other ideas:
Celebration Worship - when we enjoy the songs and words of Christian faith in a relaxed way.

Taize style of worship - when we enjoy music and songs from the Taize community

Prayer for Healing - An act of prayer for healing of people, communities, nations and our planet
(which includes the laying on of hands)

The Spirit of Iona - a tme to bring faith and life together using worship material from the Iona Community.

Cafe Worship -An informal evening sharing the Christian message in a contemporary way.
Based in the Coffee Shop where coffee is served we hope this time is an opportunity to meet with people
who use our premises and beyond.

Study Evenings - These are times to take a considered look at areas of
belief and behaviour together.

That's in the News! - a time to reflect on what is happening in the city, country or world.

.

If you would like to know more about all this please get in touch with either Dave Twine or John Rackley.
