Thought for the Services
Sunday Morning - 10:30am
Our worship services are essentially of 1hour duration. In this hour we seek to do a number of things that are part of the Methodist tradition, hence we have prayer, hymns singing and preaching. Approximately once per month we have the sacrament of Holy Communion, the breaking of bread and the sharing of wine (non alcoholic) as a memory and encounter with Jesus; this is understood through our faith.
Sunday Evening - 6:30pm
Evening services are on the whole of a similar structure to the morning services but perhaps more reflective. They are shared around the circuit and hence you should check where they are taking place.

Eltham Park Methodist Church values its Methodist tradition and so seeks to be a loyal part of the Methodist Church
Practising our Christianity Locally: We at Eltham Park, from the minister, the development worker right the way through the congregation, seek to work together as a community to explore our understanding of life in the Christian tradition and to put this into practice in our local area as well as within family life and working life.
Understanding God? We worship together to help focus on our understanding of God and to keep this understanding foremost in our minds. Further working on this understanding of God occurs in discussions and reflection in short formal studies and also in informal conversations.Perhaps, how we put our faith into practice is the most critical way we develop our understanding of God. All of this requires an engagement with a wide and developing knowledge of the world in general and a deepening of our understanding of our own particular tradition.

Junior Church is for the young people of the Church aged between 5 and 13.
A crèche is available for our younger children in a room at the back the Church. There are windows into the service area and the service is relayed on a speaker system so parents and carers can still feel part of the congregation without fear of their children causing distraction.
