Calendar

Everyone is welcome to join us for our services - some people will dress more formally for church, but many come casually ... we're pretty relaxed about that. Children are welcome and, if you need it, we have a crèche where you can take your children and still see the service and listen over the speakers.

We meet to sing hymns and songs to God: some old and some new, but all expressing our joy, our hopes, and our trust in Jesus Christ.We also pray, usually the pastor or one of the elders will pray but occasionally we throw it open to whoever wants, to lead us in prayer. And, at the heart of the service, we open the Bible - God's word - and listen to a sermon explaining what the Bible has to say and what it means for us today: it usually last about half an hour.

On Sunday mornings we also eat a simple meal together - just a piece of bread and a small drink - which is something Jesus commanded us to do when we gather to worship. Everyone who is a Christian takes the bread and the cup and through them we are reminded that Jesus' body, was broken and given to us, and that Jesus' blood, like the cup, was poured out so that we might be saved from our sins.

Altogether our morning service usually lasts about an hour and a half.

A service led my members of Carryduff Baptist Church for the residents of Hollygate Lodge

On Sunday evenings we meet at 7pm for a shorter service. The whole thing usually lasts about an hour and we'll study the Bible, perhaps review a book that seems useful, watch a video or hear from someone talking about their own experiences with Christ.

Tuesday night is our mid-week service and everyone is welcome to come along. We meet at 8pm in our smaller prayer room. We usually open with a single hymn and prayer and then spend time studying the Bible. Although it's a sermon at heart, we like to provide an opportunity to ask questions on Tuesday night, to have people speak out at any point during the sermon to clarify, or to ask for something to be explained more fully. It's a great opportunity to talk about something that was said on Sunday, or just something that's been on your mind.
After the study, which is usually about 30-40 minutes (depending on how many questions there are!) we spend some time in prayer. It's simply left open for anyone who wants, to lead us in prayer, but there's no obligation to do so - you're welcome to simply pray in silence with us. We usually spend some time before this sharing needs and opportunities with one another, things that we'd particularly like the people to pray for that night, and later in their own prayers.
We usually finish up about 9:25pm

The many forms of dementia are a rapidly increasing illness and carers face many problems, including a feeling of isolation due to the difficulty of taking their loved ones into public places such as cafes. The Friendship Hour is a joint effort between Carryduff Baptist and Carryduff Presbyterian to provide an opportunity for people with dementia and their carers to come and relax for an informal hour, in a safe environment, chatting with others in a similar situation.

A light tea is provided and all dementia sufferers must be accompanied by a carer
