Questions about our services
We understand that coming to a church service that you haven't been to before can feel a bit intimidating. If you're visiting for the first time please feel free to get in touch and we can meet you at the door or save you a seat. Hopefully some of the questions below will help you to know what to expect.
Can I just visit?
DO I NEED TO BOOK FOR CHURCH?
No. You are welcome to come along to any service at All Saints and to bring friends and family members too.
WILL THERE BE CHILDREN’S MINISTRY?
Yes, children’s groups are back!
Little Saints (creche) will be open for 0-3 year olds and parents will be able to drop children and leave them with leaders if they feel comfortable doing so. Places will be limited by the amount of leaders available each Sunday and so you may be asked to stay if necessary. Little Saints meets in the blue room to the left hand side of the hall.
Kids church consists of two groups; Early Years and S-Club. Both meet in the hall. Early Years is for children who are 3 and over up to the end of Reception. S-Club is for school years 1-4 and they use the right hand side door to the hall.
Torches is our group for school years 5-6. They meet in the Beach Hut- the cabin behind the church office.
All children usually first of all come to the main church building for the beginning of the service. New families, or children new to our groups will be asked to register over at your groups. During the service, instructions will be given when it’s time to leave for groups.
WHAT ABOUT TEENAGERS?
Sunday Morning Youth is back! We’ll start in the main building with the rest of our church family and leave for our groups when prompted to. Groups will be meeting in the church office, the beach hut and the garden in between when weather permits. Watch out for your leaders who’ll explain where to go. All young people at secondary school are welcome along to Sunday Morning Youth. For any questions please contact joel@allsaintspeckham.org.uk.
WILL THERE BE AN OFFERING?
Yes there are a number of ways you can give to church on Sundays. Baskets are usually passed around early in the service. If you miss those you can donate via the welcome team or using the contactless card machine at the back of church. Find out more about regular giving and gift aid at www.allsaintspeckham.org.uk/how-to-give.
WILL THERE BE TEA & COFFEE?
Tea and coffee are served after the service in the main church building. If you can help with this team at all do send us an email at hello@allsaintspeckham.org.uk
How long does the service last?
Our morning services usually finish around 12noon and then we invite you to stay for a hot drink before you head home for lunch.
Evening services usually last for around 90 minutes. You are welcome to leave at any time so don’t feel awkward if you can’t stay for the whole time.
