How we worship

Our whole lives can be worship as worship underpins all we are as a church community. We come together through the week, every week, to worship together.

This the the normal pattern of worship:

Sundays at 08:00. Holy Communion

Quiet and small; we don’t (usually!) sing hymns at this service but we do have a sermon!

Sundays at 10:00. Family Communion

We currently have between 70 and 90 people, including a number of children, worshipping together on a Sunday morning. There are groups for children, apart from on the first Sunday of the month when we all worship together.

We sing a mix of contemporary worship songs and traditional hymns, led by a music group on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Sundays of the month and accompanied by the organ on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month.

Afterwards, we stay for coffee and chat!

Monday – Wednesday at 08:30. Morning Prayer

A few of us come together in the side chapel and we use the liturgy from Common Worship Daily Prayer. It takes about 20-25 minutes.

Tuesdays at 08:50. Lectio Divina

We stay together after morning prayer for about half an hour to read the week’s gospel passage and to explore it using this ancient form of bible study.

Wednesdays at 19:30. Taizè / Compline service

A fortnightly, small, quiet and informal service in the Taizè style.

Thursdays at 10:00. Holy Communion

A more traditional service of Holy Communion. It still lasts about half an hour, and usually we have between 10 and 20 people present. Afterwards if you have time to stay, we have coffee and nice biscuits

Saturdays at 10:00. Messy Church

A monthly gathering (usually the third Saturday) where we worship through creative and craft activities, then share lunch together. We finish by 12:00. All ages are welcome.
