The Salvation Army is first and fore mostly a Church - our worship is relaxed and informal and many people feel instantly 'at home' when joining us at our services;
Sunday mornings:
10.30am - Morning Worship for all ages. A crèche is available most Sundays and children are especially welcome. They start the service with everybody, then leave for their own 'club' if they wish.
Sunday evenings:
6.00pm - Evening Worship
If you've never been before, our morning service for all ages at 10.30am is a good place to start. Our services always include a mix of traditional hymns and more contemporary songs, lively teaching and input from our adult and children's singing groups. All our services are followed with refreshments.
The Salvation Army uniform is only worn by some members, (those who wish to let people know that we are Christians and are there to help where we can). Many members do not wear uniform so do not be put off!
Some things explained!
Dedications
A dedication is the Salvation Army way to christen/baptise children and adults. A dedication is where in the case of a young child, the parents of the child promise to bring the child up in the christian life, setting a good example at all times, providing love and support, and nurture not just during their every day physical lives, but especially their spiritual growth. Preparations and details are discussed and organised with Salvation Army Officers at the Corps of your choice.
Weddings
Salvation Army weddings are as any other christian wedding, big and white or otherwise! a wedding ceremony can include traditional bits such as the white bridal dress, bridesmaids, etc, and special touches around the building such as flowers, ribbons etc. Salvation Army weddings can be led by the Officer based at the Corps, or a guest Salvation Army Officer if appropriate. Preparations and details are discussed and organised with the Salvation Army Officer at the Corps of your choice.
