Services

Morning Service

Our 10.30am service is a relatively traditional type of morning worship lasting about an hour. Services are conducted either by our minister, one of the other Circuit ministers, a Methodist Local Preacher, or occasionally a guest preacher.

 

The children are always present at either the beginning or end of the service. In ‘all ages’ services there is more emphasis on music and drama involving them.

Our singing includes traditional hymns and more contemporary worship songs. Music is usually led on our fine organ but we also have a music group which includes adults and children.

We have a Crèche for the under fives, Junior Church for children between the ages of 5 and 11 and “6Up” for those who are in school year 6 or above.

Holy Communion is celebrated once a month.

Evening service

Evening services are only held on special occasions and for Circuit or Churches Together events. They will be shown in the calendar.

The church was packed on Good Friday evening for a performance of The Crucifixion, an oratorio by John Stainer. The choir was drawn from several local churches and was conducted by Roger Wilman.

A retiring collection raised funds for St. Catherine's Hospice and the Reigate Community Centre project.

The performance was recorded, and it is hoped to make a CD available.

Charles Wesley Top 10 hymns

The top 10 Charles Wesley hymns as chosen by Reigate Methodist church were sung in their entirety at a special service on 15 July. Led by Roger Wilman and organist Martin Skitt, the choir included members of 8 other local churches, and all were sworn to secrecy so that the congregation didn't find out the order of the 10 hymns until each one was announced. Here they are, most popular first
