WORSHIP

Unlike some denominations, Methodism relies heavily on its bank of local preachers, which means that we benefit from the input of different preachers from week to week. Each brings his or her own style, insight, background and experience, and delivers the gospel message slightly differently. In this respect, Pett is no different to most Methodist Churches.

However, worship at Pett is no spectator sport, and several of our number contribute regularly to the worship experience. Our two Worship Leaders aim to create a worshipful atmosphere, largely through the use of music, drawing from the rich resources of Charles Wesley and the other great hymn writers as well as current writers. We believe passionately in the power of music to communicate, and are constantly seeking out new resources to keep our worship vibrant and relevant.

In addition, we make extensive use of audio visual technology. Like music, images can be immensely powerful and, used skillfully and sensitively, have the capacity to transform an act of worship. On the other hand, used clumsily, it is equally capable of ruining a worshipful atmosphere, and thus we devote considerable effort to developing skills in this area.

Whatever else it may be, worship at Pett is rarely dull. We may be relatively small in number, but we have big dreams. Why not come along and dream with us?
