Worship

We worship in church each Sunday at 10 a.m.

Worship is created when we come together to praise and worship God. At Beacon Hill URC this takes place on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m.  This service is normally a traditional family service. We are fortunate to welcome a number of Ministers, Lay Preachers & Worship Leaders to lead us in worship.

Holy Communion is normally conducted on the 2nd Sunday of every month, although this may change. We have an Open Communion, where anyone regardless of religious denomination, ability, sexuality, age, adult, child or culture are welcome to join us.

The Hymn Books we have available are ‘Rejoice and Sing’ and ‘Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise’. We also use Power Point most weeks, and this enables us to display words for other hymns, see videos and show images to aid us in worship. Although we enjoy singing traditional hymns and liturgy, the Power Point enables us to sing new hymns or words to familiar tunes and have different liturgies.

We use a Digital Hymnal to accompany our worship. A recently upgraded hearing loop is installed for those using hearing aids.

Ihere are occasions when we use the Zoom platform to join with other churches either to share our service from the church or to join with another church’s service or we may view a recorded service. This enables us to worship in fellowship with others every week.

We are friends with the folk at St. Alban’s church in Hindhead and have held a variety of occasional services together.

Our Worship space

Our worship space area has comfortable seats, allowing us to arrange the area as required. It includes a prayer corner, where anyone can sit quietly or place a prayer request on the prayer tree. There is a space for children and parents/ carers to sit, with toys and books to entertain the children.
