Services<\/strong><\/h3>

Where is the service?<\/strong><\/p>

First, check on the Regular Services<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0page if you\u2019re wanting to go to a specific service. If you\u2019d just like to come and visit, there is normally a service every week at 9.30am at Bradfield, at 10.15am at Mistley, and 11am at Lawford. Very occasionally, if we are having a Joint Service, or a service with the other churches in the area, we will not be meeting in normal places or at normal times. If this is the case, we will do our best to let people know via our regular email, Facebook, local publications, and with a sign on the door.<\/p>

Check out the Locations<\/a> <\/strong>page for a map of how to get to our churches. There is a small car park at Mistley as well as plenty of road parking, a large car park at Lawford, and limited but flexible road parking at Bradfield.<\/p>

What time should I arrive?<\/strong><\/p>

Check the Regular Services<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0page for service times. We\u2019d advise planning to come with at least five minutes to spare, just to give you time to find a seat and get comfortable. We also usually have refreshments before the 11am service at Lawford, so feel free to come any time from 10.30am and have a coffee and a chat before we start.<\/p>

What should I wear?<\/strong><\/p>

We don\u2019t mind! We\u2019re happy for you to wear what you like and to be comfortable. Our church-family members wear anything from suits and ties to jeans and t-shirts. Over all, we\u2019re more concerned that you come as you are, and that you make yourself at home.<\/p>

Will I be singled out?<\/strong><\/p>

No. We won\u2019t ask you to do anything different to anyone else, and we won\u2019t make you do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. We won\u2019t make you wear a badge or a funny hat. We won\u2019t make you give us your money. We just want to welcome you in and make you feel at home.<\/p>

What if I have a disability?<\/strong><\/h3>

We welcome everyone to our church, and whatever your abilities or disabilities, we will do what we can to not just accommodate you, but help you to fully participate in and enjoy our services.<\/p>
