What's on

Holy Communion

Every Sunday at for 1 hour
St Peter the Apostle
Church Street Byers Green, Spennymoor Durham, DL16 7NL, United Kingdom

We use Common Worship but there is an informal element to the services during which we combine traditional with contemporary music, played through the Church's sound system. There is lay involvement as much as possible: in the readings, intercessions and the administration of the cup at Communion. We also meet together at the back of church at the end of the service for tea/coffee and biscuits. Toys, books and colouring materials are available for young children during the service and are always welcomed.
