• 1st Sunday in the month at 9:45 am: Lay-led Morning Prayer

On the first Sunday of each month, we gather at 9:45am for a Morning Prayer 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 9:45 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 10:00 am: Benefice Service (held at Benefice churches in rotation: See "What's On" for current details).
