The  pandemic lock-downs  led to the suspension of our normal services, but  we are now back to ‘normality’ and  every Sunday morning at 10.30.  there is a act of worship.  Although we no longer ask people to adhere to strict covid regulations, we do ask people to be sympathetic to the needs of others in the congregation (see ‘What’s On?’  for further details). If you would like to listen to one of our services, sound files are available on the ‘Recent Events’ page.

 

 

Traditionally there were  always  two services each Sunday at Immanuel but we no  longer  hold a regular   evening service as in the past. That  said,   there is worship  at  Immanuel on ‘special  occasions ….such  as Remembrance Day. (look at  the What’s On page to  get  any  details of forthcoming services.

Our  morning ‘Family Service’ at 10.30 am is often quite full (60 /70/ adults), with   the opportunity to chat afterwards over a cup of tea or coffee. Any children and young people are with us for the first part of the service but can leave part way through for their own activities. Our teachers and helpers go through the DBS (formerly CRB) checking service. A crèche is available for the very young, and stewards will be happy to introduce you to a crèche leader.

Worship in the mornings is enhanced by our excellent church choir.

A service of Holy Communion is normally held monthly (on the 3rd Sunday morning) and this is open  to  all.

 

 

WORKING TOGETHER: MESSY CHURCH

Together with our Partnership churches when covid restrictions permit, we share in a ‘Messy Church’ that meets on the 3rd Sunday afternoon of each month at Bath Road Methodist  Church, Old Town, Swindon. It starts at 3.30pm.

We also hold occasional joint services with the other Partnership Churches at Christ Church or Bath Road.

 

 

TEA SERVICES

 

On alternate months from March to November (4.00pm – 5.30pm) an informal afternoon service is held in the Church Hall that includes a cup of tea and a slice of cake. It is an simple act of worship where people can enjoy  good company and sing some favourite old hymns and songs.

NEPALESE CHURCH 

In a similar  way, the local   Nepalese  community  uses our premises on  Sunday  afternoons for worship in their own language and cultural  tradition.
