The church interior has had a major renovation - partly because the floor had to be renewed. Hymn texts are now displayed on screens on the left and right of the lectern in front of the altar. Having the text high up seems to make the congregation sing out more strongly than when looking down at a book. There is an organ, but music can also be played digitally, all controlled from a laptop computer on the Minister's lectern. The texts of bible readings are also displayed. But the collection is still taken in cash. Photograph taken before the Christmas Morning service.
