Morning Worship Service for 1st Sunday after Trinity: 9:30am

Sunday 07 June 2026 Sunday at for 1 hour
Holy Trinity Church, Ashford in the Water
Church Street Ashford-in-the-Water, DE45 1QG, United Kingdom

We gather at 9:30am for Morning Worship, led by Jan Gibson, in the season of Trinitytide — those Sundays after Trinity when the Church reflects on how we live out our faith in the ordinary pattern of daily life.
In this quieter, steady season, we are invited to grow in prayer, deepen our trust in God, and follow Christ more faithfully, guided by the Holy Spirit. In the familiar rhythm of Anglican worship, we share Bible readings, prayers, hymns, and a short reflection.
Our four-part robed choir leads the music, offering hymns and choral pieces that help us listen more deeply and worship more fully.
Traditional, welcoming, and gently uplifting — a peaceful way to begin Sunday and to grow together in faith during Trinitytid

On the first Sunday of each month, we gather at 9:30am for a Morning Worship service led by members of the congregation, rather than a clergy person. This traditional yet welcoming service includes Bible readings, prayers, hymns, and a short reflection – all in the beautiful rhythm of Anglican worship.

Our robed choir leads the music, offering hymns and choral pieces that lift the spirit and create a sense of peace and reverence. Quiet, reflective, and uplifting – a perfect way to start your Sunday

• 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sundays in the month at 9:30 am: Parish Sung Eucharist

A joyful communion service with hymns, sung responses, and a sermon. Led by a priest, this service offers the opportunity to receive Holy Communion and reflect on Scripture together. The music is led by our four-part robed choir, a traditional choir with soprano, alto, tenor, and bass parts, the choristers wear robes to symbolize unity and reverence during worship services

• 5th Sunday in the month at 10:30 am: Benefice Service (held at Benefice churches in rotation: See "Holy Trinity Services" for current details).
