For the last 10 years the AWE service has been a regular part of circuit life.
AWE – or the Alternative Worship Experience to give it its full title – offers the chance to worship in refreshing ways that feature worship songs, video, drama and interactive activities designed to engage congregations which can range in age from primary school children to people in theirnineties.
AWE is blessed with a cracking band of musicians and a dedicated team of singers who help services to ring with God's praises and the Thursday night practices at West Ardsley are also a great time of fellowship – not to mention a chance to share plenty of biscuits and cake!
AWE has a dedicated following of people who support the event wherever it is held across the circuit but it would be lovely to see more at the services – so why not bring your musical talents and join the band or the singers or simply come along and experience different and enriching ways to worship God?
AWE services are held five or six times a year and pick up on a different theme every time so watch out for the posters.
