There'll be somebody at the front door to welcome you - they're there to help you: ask them about anything you would like to know, from what is going to happen, to where the loo is.
They'll give you what you need for the service, including our weekly intimation sheet - you can take this home with you.
If you arrive after the service has started, and the doors are closed, there is a bell on the right hand door frame. If you press it someone will let you in.
