THE PILOT

The pilot explored a new format to provide a service which is accessible to new Christians and those exploring faith, while retaining the central traditional core of our communion services.

DATES

4 May to 29 June 2008

9am Parish Communion

We tried to find the best of Communion liturgy with hymns, readings and teaching at 9am. 

A rich blend of traditional worship, music, prayer and teaching led by Jeremy and Valerie. An all-age crèche was available for children and there was coffee and fellowship after the service.  Our 8am and 10am Communion congregations were encouraged to join forces during the pilot and share Eucharistic worship together.

10.30am Oxshott Praise

This modern worship began with coffee from 10.15am and was for families and those who sought innovative bible teaching and inspirational testimony.  We used elements of the Service of the Word from Common Worship with contemporary songs led by our music group. For children there was Junior Church and a crèche. On first Sundays the service was in the Royal Kent School at 10.30am.
