Alexandra Presbyterian Church

Sad to see it closef

Warm, traditional old church with a friendly, small congregation. Sunday service starts at 11am and runs about 1hr. People don't mind if you come in late and there's always plenty of room in pews near the doors, it seems. Nursery and kids church ("Sunday school") provided, and they do a lot of crafts. Coffee/tea and snacks or luncheons follow the service in the building's basement. Lovely old sanctuary with beautiful stained glass, old natural wood beams and brass fixings, fantastic pipe organ and piano music. Service style is traditional and low-key (hymns, prayers, Bible readings, sermon) but not overly formal. You won't feel weird in jeans or running shoes or in dress clothes. Lots of older folks (many Scottish and British accents, surprisingly, but you'll see people from all different backgrounds) and a smattering of young families and kids.
