Wallingford Methodist Church

Where do I park? There is parking (including disabled) in both car parks near to our Church (Cattle Market & Goldsmith's Lane – pay and display).

Is there Disabled access? Yes, also inclusive toilet facilities. We have direct access to the premises with dropped kerbs outside and flat access into the building. We are fortunate to have a ramp to access the attached Church Hall for socialising after the Church Service with Tea/Coffee/Juice and Biscuits/Cake. Access to Junior Church is upstairs.

What should I wear? Jeans, shorts, casuals, suit – anything that makes you feel comfortable.

Where should I sit? Sit anywhere you like. There are areas in the church to accommodate wheelchairs.

Who will I meet? People of all ages regularly attend our church. We are a friendly church so expect someone to say hello. Tea and coffee are served after the service so please feel free to join us.
Is there a money collection? Yes, there is a collection to fund the work and charities of the church. Please don't feel obliged to contribute. The collection box is in the Church on entry to the seated area.

How long will the service last? Approximately 1 hour.

What facilities are available for babies and children? There is Junior Church for school-age children every Sunday morning except Christmas and Easter Sunday. Our children's group also take a break during the summer holidays too. If you would like your baby/toddler to stay with you through the service that's fine, there is even a special area for them to play with toys.

What other facilities are available? All speaking elements of the service are aided by microphones, which are picked up on the hearing aid loop. An order of service including hymns will be projected onto a screen. A notice sheet is available as is the monthly magazine. Our Door Steward who will greet you on the day, can provide you with a copy of either.

What is Communion? Can I take part? All are welcome to participate. In these services, GF bread and non-alcoholic wine are served to remember Jesus' death and resurrection. If you wish to take part, cup your hands in front of you. If you would rather not receive the bread and wine but would still like to take part, feel free to come forward for a blessing, just keep your hands down by your sides to indicate this preference.
