SUNDAY MORNINGS

Eucharist 8.00am 

We use the Traditional Book of Common Prayer Service to celebrate Holy Communion every Sunday morning. It is a quiet Service with no hymns and a short sermon. The Service takes place in the Chapel (shown) and lasts about 35 minutes.

Eucharist 10.00am

This is the principal act of worship, where people of all ages join together in the worship of God and in prayer for the world, this district, and each other. We use the Common Worship form of the Holy Communion Service and sing a wide variety of hymns and songs. The main Sunday sermon is preached and people are invited to receive Holy Communion or a personal blessing at the altar. We welcome children and families to this service which takes place in the main church.

We provide a crèche all the year round, and Sunday Club runs alongside the service during term-time. The service lasts just over an hour. Coffee is served afterwards.

All Age Worship    10.00am (Third Sunday of the month)

This is a short service (about 40 minutes) where all people meet for informal, friendly worship, which

does not normally include Holy Communion. We involve a variety of people in the presentation of worship, which is based around a theme.

SUNDAY EVENINGS

All services take place in the Chapel at 6.30pm

A variety of evening worship takes place on Sundays and is designed to allow us to share worship styles and develop our spirituality as well as providing an opportunity for reflective worship for smaller numbers of people.

Evening Prayer   - 1st, 3rd, 4th & 5th Sundays

Service of Healing and Wholeness – 2nd Sunday

This Service is an opportunity for all people to seek wholeness in their lives, and to pray for themselves and for others. The sacrament of Anointing with Holy Oil is offered, together with the ministry of Laying on of Hands. It is a peaceful and reflective service to which all are welcome.
