Services

Ramsden Street Church is a very warm and comfortable building. The small congregation, of about 18 adults, is very friendly, which makes for an intimate but nevertheless welcoming atmosphere. We are very Ecumenically minded, working closely with other denominations of the local Churches and particularly with the local Methodist Circuit, which supplies us with a number of both lay and ordained preachers. We therefore enjoy varying worship styles, and include both infant and believer's baptism in our tradition (an open baptistry is on view). Ramsden Street United Reformed Church has a service each Sunday morning starting at 10:45. This includes the Sacrament of Holy Communion. However, on the 1st Sunday in each month there are two services. Communion at 10:30 and All Age Worship at 11:15. During the services we use the Good News Bible and the hymn book Rejoice and Sing.

Regular Midweek Activities

Our midweek activities are well supported, especially the Wednesday afternoon Ladies Meeting which attracts various speakers. There is a Free Friday Coffee Morning - from 10:30 till 12:00 - where shoppers and passers-by alike drop in for a cuppa and a chat. There is a Monday Evening programme for children. At present there are about 6 children under the age of 18.
