Worship

Sunday Services

At the heart of our community at Glengormley Methodist is the Sunday worship service. Sunday is the time for the whole church family to come together and join in praise and prayer and to be instructed from God’s word. There are three different services that run every Sunday:

10.00 am A traditional service including timeless hymns that combine with the melody of the church organ to create beautiful anthems of praise. Sunday school runs concurrently with the service in the minor halls.

11.30 am A contemporary service lead by the praise band, this service is a lively mix of drama, puppetry and children’s stories as well as testimonies and special events for all the family. JAM runs concurrently with the service in the minor halls.

7.00 pm An intimate evening service, lead by the praise team, Karen Orr, and on the last Sunday of the month the Youth Choir.

Note:
- In July and August there is only one morning service at 11 am.
- A creche facility is available at all of the morning services throughtout the year (including the summer). It is supervised by experienced volunteers from the church working on a rota basis. It has lots of clean, safe toys available and plenty of room for the children to run about and play. It is available for babies and children up to the age of 4.
- Prayer ministry is available after both services in the prayer room.

Home Groups

To visit a friends house, in company with other friends, and to enjoy Christian fellowship with each other is the essence of our Church Home Groups. The purpose of meeting in a home on a fortnightly basis, is to encourage each other in our Christian faith as we seek to go forward with the Lord. Each group has its own unique character, but to a greater or lesser degree the format of the meetings include:

A time of praise an worship – (some groups have instruments, some don’t). From our growing knowledge of God, we flow into praising and honouring him.
A time of Bible study – maintaining spiritual vitality and growth in our fruitfulness we need God’s word flowing through us and empowering us.
A time of prayer – an ideal situation to help people in personal and corporate prayer is found in a small group, where confidentiality among the members is paramount.
A cup of tea – during which we can catch up with things since we last met.

Where and when? Various homes, various evenings. Contact the church office for more details.
