New to Church – What to Expect

When and Where:

Every Sunday morning at 11am, at St Mary’s Greyfriars’ Church Hall, which is on the fork between Annan Road and St Mary’s Street. It’s opposite the Cairndale Hotel. There’s plenty of parking in the vicinity of the building and our hosts will meet you as you arrive. The closest car park is the Council Offices staff car park, which is open to all on Sundays.

What to Expect:

You can expect a casual, friendly environment with a big (but not embarrassing) welcome. We want you to come as you are and enjoy yourself: Jeans, t-shirts, shorts; whatever works for you!

So, when you get here, make yourself at home in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. We have people from many different nations and cultures, so you won’t feel like the ‘odd one.’

You’ll hear messages that you can apply to your daily life; you won’t be made to do anything embarrassing!

There will be live music consisting of contemporary, fast and slow songs, with the words on screens.

Your children can stay in the whole service or leave for Kids Church around 11.30am. The service will finish around 12.30pm. You’ll get a free coffee/tea afterwards and usually there are some cakes on the go too!

Whether you’re married, single, single again, with children, or without; no matter where you’re from, where you’ve been or what you’ve done, we invite you to come experience God’s love at River of Life
