Sunday Morning Worship: 10.45am.
We are a small but very diverse congregation, with a very international flavour. Most Sundays we range from people who have been Bishop Street members for 70 years, through to people recently arrived in Leicester from a dozen countries in four continents.
Children of all ages are welcome to our services. We currently have a around eight under 5s, who can go out for creche activities during the service, and a number of teenagers, who take part in various activities, sometimes on Sundays, and also for other events.
Services generally last around one hour. We have a strong and enthusiastic hymn-singing tradition, and actively promote the congregation to participate in Bible readings and prayers. Services are led by our Minister, or by a Local Preacher. These are accredited members of our, or other nearby Methodist Churches in the Leicester Trinity Methodist Circuit.
Midweek reflections: at 1.00pm on Wednesday lunchtimes, are a smaller gathering, and a shorter service, for those wishing to take a break from work, shopping, or other city centre activities, for a 30 minute time of worship and reflection. Both Sunday and Midweek services include Holy Communion once a month.
Weekday prayers: We also have daily prayers as part of our programme of weekday activities under the OPEN CHURCH ‘brand’, Tuesdays to Fridays, with prayers at 1.00pm each day. On Mondays there is also a 1.00 prayer using the Celtic Daily Prayer liturgy. All are welcome to join us for these times of prayer and worship.
