Basically there are four good reasons:
1. In the ten commandments God has told us to keep the 7th day Holy. Why? Even modern psychology now understands a lot better than before that there is a natural rhythm to nature. In fact, the physiology functions in seven day cycles. Our Creator obviously knows this and knows that we need this time of rest to recuperate and to think of more important things than just day to day existence. Hence the commandment.
2. Jesus, himself sets the example. Divine though he was, he still took the trouble to visit the Temple every Saturday, as was the custom then in Israel. He even tells us that we should go and listen to the Word of God, even if the people telling it aren't of great quality and don't practise what they preach. He simply says listen to what the hypocrites say but do not do what they do.
3. A weekly visit to church gives us a systematic and regular reminder of the word of God. It is like the nourishment we get from eating food. Having a huge meal say every now and again and otherwise going without, is not nearly so beneficial as a regular diet.
4. By going to church every week we become part of God's own people. We can share the good news, the prayers and the worship with the friends we meet there. This is uplifting to the spirit and good for the heart.

Here right at the very heart of Bournemouth you will find in our church services a blend of traditional Christian worship and less formal moments. We find that this mix helps us all to worship meaningfully. Our worship helps us purposefully to support each other in the Christian life.
Our church services are in the Reformed Tradition. This means they are Bible based. The music is carefully chosen to enable us to seek God’s help and guidance.
We want our services to make Christianity relevant for today’s living.
10.30 a.m. Morning Service. Although the main church service is for the adult congregation, we also have Junior Church and Crèche facilities available for our younger friends.
6.30 p.m. Evening Service. During the winter months these are held in our smaller and cosier St. Andrew’s Chapel.
10.00 a.m. Early Birds Family Service is held on the first Sunday of each month. This lively and interactive informal service is held in the Church Lounge. In December instead of having Early Birds we held a family Christingle service.
Holy Communion is an important part of our church worship and is included in the main services on the third Sunday morning of the month and on the first Sunday evening of the month and at Festival times.
