Parish Communion

A simple liturgy which enables us to pray for peace in the world.

Prayers for the world and the local community

Compline is the Church’s service of night prayer, said at the end of the day before rest. It is a quiet, reflective office, marked by simplicity, confession, psalms, and a final prayer for protection through the night. In its stillness, Compline invites worshippers to lay down the day’s burdens and entrust themselves to God’s care.

Through Scripture, reflection, and the use of art, music and film, we will listen to words spoken in extremity and allow them to speak into our own lives and our shared world.

These final sayings open up themes of mercy, hope, belonging, suffering, vulnerability and trust.

Each session offers space to think, to question, and to talk together about what these words might teach us about God, about ourselves, and about how we live. All are welcome – no prior knowledge needed, just a willingness to reflect and listen.

A place of support, advice, activities and refreshment to people living with dementia and their carers. A welcoming place for others that enjoy the friendship of others.

An opportunity for men to get together for a cooked breakfast, hot drinks and conversation. Open to all faiths and none.
Pay what you can afford (suggested £5-£7).

Our early communion service, following the Book of Common Prayer

During Holy Week we gather for the Eucharist on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, marking the days that lead us toward the Passion. These services offer space for prayer, scripture, and sacrament as we walk more closely with Christ in the final days of his earthly ministry. Each Eucharist stands as a quiet act of preparation, drawing us deeper into the mystery of Holy Week before the solemn days of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.
