Lighthouse Family Service – Sunday 11am
This is a lively and informal worship service incorporating sung worship, prayer, scripture readings and bible teaching in family-friendly, relevant ways.
Most of these services begin with ‘carpet-time’; an interactive teaching time with the children. This is usually followed by an extended time of praise and worship which children especially encouraged to fully participate with activities including; flag-waving, dancing and singing (which also sometimes feature in the form of worship presentations).
These services also feature excellent in-depth bible teaching for adults, while children go to Lighthouse Kids @11 (where they learn about Christian life through through bible stories and a variety of activities) and young people have their own teaching and discipleship class, 412.
A variety of service styles are used for the Lighthouse Family Service, including;
‘table-top service’ – where craft-work is provided for families and friends to work on together on their table-top
‘switch-service’ – where the children stay in the church and it’s the adults who go out to a separate bible-study class
‘all-age service’ – where we celebrate communion together as a family, with children receiving prayers of blessing
‘show & tell’ – where the children bring back demonstrations and examples of what they’ve been working on together to share with the rest of the family.
