Come and have a cup of coffee and a chat with friends, old and new! There should be baked goods and possibly other produce to buy, too - especially if you bring something with you!

You are very welcome to join the worship service live on Zoom using your internet browser. You can access this very simply by clicking on the Online Service in the upcoming services section of the home page of the Otter Vale Mission Community website: https://ottervalechurches.org/. You don't need a camera on your device but it is nice if we can see who we are worshipping with. You will need to set the volume on your speakers so you can hear the worship leader and the musicians. Your microphone will be muted during the service but you are encouraged to chat before the service and to unmute yourself to join in with fellowship afterwards, too!

All are welcome to attend this worship service and to come to the rail for a blessing if they don't want to take Communion. Gluten free wafers are available on request. There will be hymns to sing, Bible readings, a sermon, liturgy (Order One, Common Worship) and prayers. There is a carpeted area near the font where children can play with books and toys, or they can bring them back to their pew to play with there if they would prefer. Children and families are very welcome in our church! Do stay for coffee and a chat afterwards!

Arrive to coffee, pastries and chat at tables, with craft activities for all age groups. At 11 am there is informal worship, with a few hymns to sing, some particularly suitable for children, a Bible reading, a reflection and activity for all and some prayers. You can carry on enjoying refreshments throughout if you want to.

There will be liturgy (Common Worship Order 1), a Bible reading, hymns to sing, a sermon and prayers, as well as the administration of Holy Communion.

As well as the service of Holy Communion, we will be celebrating the Feast of St. John, after whom our church is named.
